  5. Under Transfer to, follow one of these options:
    • Number pad: Dial an external number using the on-screen or your keyboard number pad, then click the phone icon.
    • Copy and paste: Copy and paste a number in the text field.
    • Search contacts: Type a name or number above the dial pad to search Zoom Contact Center users, Zoom Phone users, Microsoft Teams users, address book contacts, queues, and flows. Click a search result to transfer the call. 
      Notes:
    • If the contact has several phone numbers, click the right arrow icon to view and select the number to call.
    • If the contact is another agent that belongs to several voice queues, click the right arrow icon to view and select the voice queue that the engagement will be assigned to.
    • Search results for Zoom Phone users will display users' Zoom profile picture, presence status, display name, and extension number.
    • Search results for Zoom Contact Center agents will display agents’ Zoom profile name, Zoom Contact Center profile picture as set by the admin, and availability status. Admins can set a Zoom Contact Center profile picture and display name that's separate from their Zoom profile picture.
    • Search results for Microsoft Teams users will display users' profile picture, display name, phone number, and email address.
