Using CallKit always for incoming call notifications
Account owners and admins can enable CallKit to be used consistently for incoming call notifications on iOS and iPadOS devices, regardless of whether the Zoom Workplace app is running in the foreground or background. The setting can be configured at the account, site, group, user, and common area levels. This setting only applies to iOS/iPadOS devices with CallKit enabled. If a user modifies this setting on their Zoom app, the value will be updated on this policy. Locking this policy will prevent users from making changes to the setting.
When enabled, the maximum number of concurrent calls supported decreases from four to two. If the policy is not locked, users can modify the setting on their devices, which automatically updates the web portal policy value. This enhancement enables uninterrupted call handling on iOS and iPadOS devices.
