Changing Default Ringtone on Zoom Phone

Overview

Zoom uses the same ringtone for incoming meeting invites and phone calls. Additionally, users can set distinctive ringtones for their call queue, shared line group, and shared line appearance (assistant) numbers through their audio settings. When calls are received through these channels, the configured ringtone plays consistently regardless of the call's routing path, including direct calls, transfers, forwards, or overflow scenarios. The feature works whether calls are directly dialed, internally forwarded, transferred, or overflowed to these numbers. Access your audio settings to change your ringtone.
