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.
