Restricting Zoom Phone recording and anonymizing logs
Account owners and admins can configure specific numbers to be excluded from call recording and identifiable logging. When enabled, calls made to these excluded numbers will not be recorded and are anonymized in system logs, usage reports, and billing information. The feature masks caller information across dashboards, analytics, and reporting interfaces.
For shared line environments, other members cannot view these calls in the shared call history. Call details remain visible only to the individual user making the call, so sensitive communications remain confidential.
Note: For enablement, contact Zoom Support.
