Enabling or disabling phone-only user experience on the mobile app
The phone-only experience simplifies the Zoom Workplace mobile app for users who only need calling functions. When enabled, the client hides tabs that aren't related to Zoom Phone, such as Home, Chat, Meetings, Mail, Calendar, and Canvas. Instead, users see a streamlined layout that includes only the Keypad, Lines, History, Voicemail, SMS, Push-to-Talk, Fax, and Contacts tabs.
Requirements for enabling or disabling a phone-only user experience on the Zoom Workplace mobile app
- Either a Zoom Workplace license with Phone included, or a standalone paid Zoom Phone calling plan.
- Account owner or admin privileges to edit group settings
- Zoom Workplace mobile app for Android or iOS: version 7.1.0 or higher
- Contact Zoom Support to enable Phone retail client UX
