Every Staff Member requires a free Zoom Meetings Account for 1-1 Client Meetings and Training sessions and a Zoom Phone license and Extension.
Before adding a User to Zoom Phones, you will need to check if a spare Zoom Phone license seat and phone line are available in the ECA Zoom account.
If the Zoom Phones ECA currently does not have a spare license seat, when creating a new User Zoom will prompt the purchase of a new license.
However, if a spare license is available, this license should also have a Direct Phone Number assigned which can be re-assigned to the new user.
