How do I get my incoming calls to ring on our overhead paging system (Algo and CyberData)? This is for our retail stores where it’s hard to hear the diminutive ringers on our Poly desk phones.

I have a new team member joining my team. I want to reassign a previous employees line to the new team member so the new team member can use the same number, extension and setting of the previous employee. What are the steps to do this?

Hi Everyone, I have Mitel 485G phones and we use RingCentral. A few months back, I was following this guide to set up my phones in RC. These steps are no longer working for me. After I set the configuration server, the phone reboots and hits me with a “no service” message.  Does anyone know of any other ways to add the phone to RC? Thank you. 

Hello, Currently to access the DND function you need to go to settings and then to phone rules. For something we need to access multiple times a day it would be far more convenient if we could make a button for the home screen. The warning that appears when DND is active is very convenient.Thank you. 

I am trying to add a user to the SMS campaign (It has been Approved).  Sometimes it will add them, and it says “Setup in Progress,” but as soon as I do anything they drop out of the list and my user count goes from 33 to 32.  Most of the time, however, when I click Add, nothing happens at all.  I am not sure if the UI isn’t working correctly and my user is being added, but I am not being patient enough, or if there is a problem and the action just keeps getting terminated.  It shows in the log that I am adding someone, but they are not in the list, and definitely unable to send/receive text messages.  Soooo, any tips, or further insight anyone has would be greatly appreciated.

 All users currently have call recording enabled for inbound, outbound, and ACR calls. However, we’ve noticed that some calls are not being recorded. I’ve reviewed the settings for all users and call queues, and recording is enabled across the board.We’ve also observed that transferred calls are often not recorded. In these cases, a transcript appears to exist, but the recording itself cannot be accessed.Additionally, some users attempting to manually start recording during outbound calls via the keypad receive an error message stating, “Sorry, we are unable to record the call.”Could you please advise on why this may be happening and whether there is a workaround to ensure all calls are consistently recorded?

Previously there was a voice recording of a conversation, now it is not showing. How can I retrieve it?

Hi support team, How can I identify the abandoned calls in RingCentral Integration with Salesforce? I can see the call data has been recorded in the Task and Activity objects in Salesforce. It seems like the “Call Type” in Task. What are the unique values that RingCentral populates for this field? Currently I see:Answered Connected Disconnected Hung up Missed No Answer Wrong NumberAre these all available values? Any other values that RingCentral Integration could populate? Is there any guidance or reference? Thank you

On 4/20, RingCentral desk phones unexpectedly started showing coworkers’ call status. The issue was mitigated by setting “Allow other users to see my Presence status” to Off. What caused this behavior to change without prior notice?

We would like to set up certain physical IP phones with dual handsets so that a doctor and patient can converse with a remote language interpreter.  We were able to do this by putting a splitter on the handset jack with our legacy phones, but when we use existing or bought-new-to-test RJ9/10/22-type splitters on our Yealink phones we’re noticing that the far, interpreter, end can barely hear either the doctor or patient.  We do have a number of other solutions available - specialized hardware from our interpreter services vendor, and iPads configured to video chat with the interpreter service.  In many locations, the use of the iPads or a speakerphone are not appropriate due to the need to protect patient medical privacy.  In certain locations, the physicians prefer a standard IP phone over the vendor’s.Has anyone out there ni the community had to do this?  What type of RingCentral-supported IP phone did you use, and how did you split the handset? Thank you for any feedback!

Hi All,  I have successfully downloaded the extension and connected it to my HighLevel account. I can go ahead and click to make calls and that works without issue. However, the calls are no longer being logged in the conversation record of HighLevel. I’ve tried everything from looking at the settings, logging out, signing back in, nothing is working to get calls to log. I was testing this extension just a few weeks ago and it was working fine at that time. Went ahead and removed the extension a few weeks ago and re-installed it yesterday. Since the re-install, no calls will log. Is there anyone that would be so kind to help me out here.  Thanks in advance! Mike

how to create a new message on how to direct calls and then play a message as the call is being transferred. 

There is one phone that rings whenever an extension that is setup as a presence key is called.  The checkbox “Ring my phone when any users I am monitoring rings” is unchecked.  The phone is a VVX450.  All the presence keys have been removed, phone unplugged then plugged back in.  No extensions are shown on the display.  Confirmed by adding calling a couple of the extensions that were previously assigned to presence keys and his phone did not ring.  Added one extension as a presence key, unplugged the phone and plugged back in.  The one extension is now showing on the display.  When the presence key extension is called the users phone rings.  I again confirmed that the “Ring my phone...” box is unchecked.  Tried a resync and still the same thing. Also, tried checking the “Ring my phone..” box, unplugging the phone, plugging back in, removing the check, unplugging the phone and then back in. Nothing seems to work.  Anyone have any ideas as to how to resolve this? Thank you

Good afternoon,We're on day 3 with RingCentral, and we're finding things we really like and little things that make us scratch our head. Overall it's been a pretty good experience.I have something weird going on with the desktop app. When I try to answer a call on Glip there is a 10-15 second delay before the call is answered. When I dial a number there is a 10-15 second delay before it dials.This morning I was in My Extension on service.ringcentral.com. I recorded a new Voicemail Greeting. I left that Window up, and all day long the app calls have been working nearly instantly. I don't experience any delay or issues. As soon as I closed that My Extension on the website the delays reappeared. I reopened the website, made sure my microphone was active on that page, and Glip is back to working without issues.I have a $35 pair of Logitech headphones, and they haven't given me any issues on other programs. It's a USB connection directly into my computer. I'm usi

Not sure if it’s just us, but leaving voicemails has become one of the most repetitive parts of the day.When you’re making a lot of calls, it feels like it really breaks your rhythm having to stop and repeat the same message over and over.Curious how others are handling this inside RingCentral.Are you:Just leaving them manually every time? Using a script and powering through it? Or is there a better way you’ve found to speed that part up?Feels like there should be a more efficient way to handle it without interrupting call flow.

Hi all,We have this call Queue and during after hours we want to play a message but not offer the caller to leave a voicemail. But as you can see from the screenshot I don’t get any option to alter what the announcement is.But If I use a custom rule I can edit and go and upload a custom message.  Do I simply have to use a custom rule or message only extension to configure this? 

Good morning,I’m new to RingCentral and need help re-recording our main voicemail greeting. I’d also like to set up a separate greeting for after business hours. Could someone point me in the right direction?

HiMy app keep crashing every time i hit the hang up button on my ringcentral app on mac. Also it crashes whenever somebody calls me and i dont pickup - the app just crashes. (Like i press quit button on the app) Assuming the issues is with the little pop up window that pops up when someone calls you.Tried reinstalling, cleared cache and everything. Nothing. Still the same

rcmobile:// call not working after upgrading to the new app. How can I get this working again on our Macs?

Good morning, everyone.  We need to resolve a Caller ID issue where external phone numbers are not appearing on RingEX.Currently, RingCX correctly displays the caller's actual phone number. However, the moment a call is transferred to RingEX, the Caller ID reverts to "The Union Bank Company." Additionally, any external call made directly to a RingEX user shows the same bank name instead of the caller's number. Our goal is for the original external phone number to be visible on RingEX in all scenarios. I’m currently trying to get this feature developed by RingCentral. If you could please vote on it and place a comment that would be great. Preserve Caller ID When Transferring from RingCX to RingEX – RingCentral IdeasThank you!

Teams embedded RC app using the desktop phone pairing feature use to work properly, but after an update has broken. On one device say your office Windows PC you pair a desktop phone in the RC embedded Teams app, then on your laptop/Macbook on the road or at home you want to use computer audio for an RC call on this device....but no it's paired to your office desktop phone still. You must unpair your office phone on your laptop to use computer audio. But.... When you get back to the office you have to pair your desk phone again as it's still using computer audio from using your laptop. If gets worse if you have more devices...say Office, WFH, and laptop/Macbook you have to constantly pair and unpair between computer audio and desktop phones. Very frustrating!  Desktop phone pairing should be independent per device….just as it use to be and like other functionality  current is...for example the Ring out feature is independent per device.There was an idea on the community site added that

Our RingCentral app is not accurately displaying incoming or missed calls. This has been happening for a couple days now. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the app, reset the app and logged out and back in several times. I've checked all the settings and nothing is out of the ordinary. Is anyone else seeing this type of behavior from the desktop app?

It seems as if just recently that when I now get a Ring Central call on my iPhone 8 that it calls out the numbers of the dialer (ring.. 9-7-6-4-5-2-8-8-0-2 and then repeats until I can pick it up.) It’s very irritating. Is there a way to change this?It is only when I get Ring Central calls on my iPhone that this happens, not when just a direct call to my iPhone. So I don’t believe it’s my iPhone settings.Please help. Before I pull out what little hair I have left.
