Busy Lamp Fields (BLF)
Busy lamp field (BLF) allows you to see the call status of another internal Zoom Phone user. For example, if that user in on a call, you'll usually see a red icon or indicator light.
- Access line key settings as an admin or user.
- In one of the keys, click Set Key.
- Change the following options in these columns:
- Key Type: Select BLF.

- Click Save.
Note: Associated phones will automatically reboot to apply the changes. Phones may reboot multiple times.
