Managing voicemail messages

Overview

If you have Zoom Phone activated on your account, you can play, delete, and save voicemail messages left by your callers. Voicemail messages can be up to 5 minutes in length and are stored for 12 months. You can also change your settings to disable voicemail during your business or closed hours.

Note: Voicemails are synced between the Zoom desktop client and mobile app. This includes the notification icon (red circle icon). For example, if you play a new voicemail message in the desktop client, it will also remove the notification icon on the mobile app.

You can also share your voicemail inbox with other users in the same organization. Shared voicemail inboxes can be viewed on the Zoom desktop client, mobile app, web portal, or desk phone. We recommend using the Zoom desktop client, mobile app, or web portal so you can better identify who the messages were left for.
