Note (A): You can use call flip on Linux if it's the originating device. In other words, you can transfer calls from the Linux desktop client, but you can't transfer calls to the Linux desktop client.

Note (B): If your platform does not support enabling or disabling calls from shared line groups, you can change this setting in the Zoom web portal.

Note (C): If you are in a Zoom meeting using the mobile app, you will always get notifications for incoming Zoom Phone calls.

Note (D): If you enable nomadic emergency services, you can't set up LLDP to detect network information for wireless Zoom Phone Appliances.

Note (E):  Local survivability requires app version 5.11.6 or higher. You can review the system requirements for this functionality.
