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 call queues, you can change this setting in the Zoom web portal.
Note (C): Incoming call notifications on the Zoom mobile app do not display when you are in a meeting using the app.
