Zoom Phone: Features & Functionality

Modified on: Fri, Jan 19 2024 11:08 AM

Zoom Phone is a feature added to the Zoom application you’re already familiar.


Zoom Phone is a softphone service, meaning it is a downloadable application that allows you to make and receive phone calls over the internet using mobile devices and laptops.

  • You’ll be able to use your Stevens phone number wherever you may be without the requirement of a VPN. 
  • You’ll no longer need to use or share your personal cell phone number for work purposes. 
  • This effort will also significantly reduce the number of desk phones used across our campus, reducing electronic waste and supporting the university’s sustainability goals.
