Zoom Common Area Phone (Poly) Voicemail Information

Using your Voicemail

There are several ways you will know you have a new voicemail message:

  • You will receive a notification in your email with the message attached.

Recording a Voicemail Greeting

Note that currently, only those with a hard phone associated with their extension will be able to set a voicemail greeting. Those using true Common Area Phones will not have the ability to set their voicemail greeting using this menu. If you need a greeting set up on your Common Area Phone, you will need to request it from VCS. Ensure in that request you include the verbiage of the greeting they want set up on that Common Area Phone line.
