Physical desk phones

In addition to the softphone features available for the Zoom desktop and mobile applications, CCA has provisioned a number of physical desk phones for in-office use.

Designated vs Common area phones

Physical phones will be allocated for certain staff and departments, and some phones will be available in common areas for ad hoc "hot desk" use as well.

Please note that desk phones don't support all Zoom Phone features.

6 Use your designated desk phone

Learn how to use the Polycom desk phone, including placing, receiving, and managing calls, as well as checking your call history and voicemail.

7 Use a common area phone

Using a Common Area Phone (No Sign-in Required)

Anyone can use a common area phone. A general purpose line is connected to each phone so you can use it to call out (U.S. and Canada only) without needing to sign in.

See the Polycom desk phone guide for desk phone usage instructions.

Connect Your Own Phone Line to a Common Area Phone

If you have your own Zoom Phone extension, you can sign in to a common area phone to temporarily use your phone line on that device (and sign out when you're done).

Follow this guide for using hot desking for common area phones. See these sections for guidance:

  • How to enable hot desking > User
  • How to use hot desking

Where are these common area phones?

Breakout and meeting rooms with a common area phone will be indicated in Google Calendar. See Reserve a Collaboration Space Using Google Calendar for booking instructions.
