How do I check my voicemail?

By default, all your voicemail messages are emailed to you along with an AI generated transcription. You'll find these messages under the Phone tab of your Zoom computer application as well. If you'd like to check messages from your physical desk phone, press the house button, then scroll to messages and select.
