Zoom Phone is apart of the Zoom platform, and it's Colby's Web-based phone system for faculty and staff. With Zoom Phone, phone calls can be made from the Zoom Workplace app that comes pre-installed on all Colby issued laptops or desktops (Windows and MacOS), can also be used on smartphones through the Zoom Mobile App (Android or iOS), and on traditional office desk phones.
Highlights
