Can either the built in speakers for a laptop or the internal speaker in a workstation produce an adjustable ringer sound and not my USB headset when a call comes in? I don't always wear my headset and the ringer cannot be heard sometimes. Can the ringer sound only go to the internal speaker of a workstation, the built in speakers of a laptop or an external speaker so you know when a call comes in? Does this make sense?

* Reposting so that I can be the point of contactHi there,I've been tasked with gathering and analyzing call logs for our company, but I'm running into problems grabbing the percent of calls accepted each month.If request all company call logs, some of the extensions I'm looking for aren't being returned. I suspect it's because the users associated with these extensions are "Not Activated" (Correct me if I'm wrong). I can see the % Answered KPI for these numbers on the analytics page, btw.I'm able to come up with the number if I call the API, requesting logs for those specific extensions. The problem is, with rate limits, the process is taking far too long. (I want to archive logs for every extension, as well.)Because of the way our phone system is set up, we're using some inactive extensions that only exists to forward calls to others. I tried a workaround where I get these numbers' forwarding agents and come up with the counts that way. H

We're in the process of getting ready to roll out the fax function of RingCentral, starting with outbound faxing first [baby steps!]. While testing and fiddling with how we wanted it to look and feel, I would send test faxes, and then receive a Fax Message Transmission Result to my own email. So far, so good. I then finalized the configuration [I thought] and assigned the various fax lines their own email addresses. I also added user email addresses to each fax line [department-based] in preparation for their use. Now when I send a fax, the Transmission Result email is only going to the email address associated with the fax line, and not the actual sender [in this case, me]. Is there a way to change this? If you have 50 people associated with a given fax line, I don't want to necessarily have to give them all access to that email account. Or am I stuck? Suggestions certainly welcome!

I am trying to set up Call Handling to forward all calls from certain states (using area codes) to a particular extension. I know I can do this by adding an advanced call handling option, but can I bulk import the area codes I want somehow? One at a time, for over 300 area codes will be horrible. Thanks.

I know how to submit the update so our caller id name is updated in CNAM...but does anyone have any tips on how I can go about updating caller ID on other databases for carriers?For example, a few months back I resent the caller ID name per the instructions and now when I check the CNAM database, it's updated there...but when I call my cellphone it still gives a different name. (luckily the name is still something that makes it clear that it's the organization I work for...we updated CNAM to "BBB" but the callerid on my cell from various numbers show up as "better bus bru" , "Bbb ctrl dispute", "Better Business", etc. We have had most of our numbers for years, but newer numbers we have added from ringcentral will sometimes show old people/names even though they don't have anything associated in CNAM.Any tips would be much appreciated!

I would like to have an option to be able to disable the Call Waiting tone when using the RC Phone app. I would like to keep the pop-up, but not have the Call Waiting tone in my ear when a second call comes in.

We want to be able to allow users access to "User Hours". Unfortunately Role permission to change it is grouped under "User Info" permission which contains other fields we can not allow users to change.We disables "User Info" to prevent users from changing their account email address in our SSO environment. If they do that, they are unable to sign-in via campus SSO and they loose access to their RC account.Some items underneath User Info->Settings and Permissions are appropriate and very useful to end users. For instance "User Hours".Is there another way, or future plans, to allow users access "User Hours" without also allowing them to change the account email?

Is the RC for Windows Phone application going to be sunset and replaced by RC Classic (Glip)? I thought I remembered hearing this last year and wanted to ask if there was an update.

Here is a feature that I would love to see. The Why: When a meeting ends, many times you need to grab a few key people and do an immediate debrief meeting or debrief call (no video). Yes as host I could wait til certain people hopped off and say, the following people hang on, but occasionally you want that to be anonymous. I could go to my personal room, invite people, and send, but there should be a WAY easier method.For example: During the main meeting creation, a check box "Schedule Follow-Up Call for Debrief". You can set as phone call or video meeting. Either pre-invite people to it to block time, or option to wait and see attendees list. Many times people get invited or don't make meetings.You host the meeting, it has video, recording, customers, etc. You want to end the meeting and cease all recording and then immediately flip to the follow-up meeting with restricted attendees.When I hit "end meeting", if pre-scheduled, a new meeting immediately

We need reporting by IVR Menu extension press. How many people press 1 for sales for example.

I have a customer who has their reception phone programmed with two other phones to ring simultaneously in a ring group (those phones are the backup receptionist and lunch room). During the day there might not be anyone at these three phones so they would like to have another extension have the capability to pickup calls to their main number from time to time. They do not want this 4th phone to be part of the ring group so it rings for every incoming call to the main number. In the PBX world this was called Call Pickup or Directed Call Pickup. My customer is using Yealink T48S phones on their RC account. Has anyone figured out a way for this to be accomplished?

If i add a caller to a call using the desktop app, i will be on the phone with party A. click add dial party b, then after i prep party b for the 3way call i will hit merge and it will show I am on a "conference" call in the app.When i am done with part b i want to disconnect them. On the old ring central app i used to be able to do that and hang up on specific callers.I can't figure out how to do that in the new app.

Is there a way to set different notification rules for SMS messaging for after hours/weekends/holidays? Would like to notify the Manager on Call of all SMS messages that come in. We have missed a few text messages that came in Friday night but we didn't see them until Monday. Just learned how to "manually" set up notification rules to rectify the issue. Trying to figured out if there is an automatic setting so that we don't have to manually set this up every Friday.

Having had used GoToMeeting and our organization is transitioning to Ringcentral, GoToMeeting showed you the maximum # of participants you could have for your meeting. This information is essential to be aware of, if you plan on having any meeting where you would need more participants than what you have been assigned by your administrator. Thus far, I have had to validate this information by contacting Ringcentral support, but nothing reassures me that this is truly the case for my account, especially if my administrator changes my plan, without my knowledge.

If there are fees associated with changing to Amex payment, what are they? And are there fees associated with using VISA?

My Team is looking for a way to remove/edit the default meeting invitation to remove the verbiage "Hi There". I know there's an option to add text to the default, but is there an option to remove?

This post is simply to suggest a feature to RC developers:Would you please create a function so that someone can see analytics for some users but not all? This way the manager of a department may access analytics for their department without being given access to the entire company.Thank you for your consideration.

Anyone else having issues with the user call activity report not updating for 24 hours?  I can pull activity from 2+ days ago, but every time I try to pull real-time, or yesterday's stats, everything has a value of zero.   I ALWAYS want to check stats real time, and every morning, to talk to reps about how yesterday went.  Why is reporting lagging for 24+hours?

I am new to RC :-)Created a free account. Trying to add a virtual background but I don't have nor see this option. Do free accounts NOT have the option to use virtual backgrounds or even my company logo?

The ability to duplicate the default "all employee group" on GLIP would be nice for internal company-wide notifications that are of a different subject matter. Currently, we use the "all employee group" for IT issues only. If I want to create a separate group to notify everyone of events, for example, each user I want to contact must be input individually. This easily becomes an issue if your org has 100+ users and is hiring new people all the time (they'd need to be added on an ongoing basis, which is hard to maintain!).

A lot of our extensions are receiving a large amount of spam calls / fax. How do we block all incoming calls to the extensions, and force all calls to go through the main auto-receptionist line only? Anyone with success doing this?

No audio notification from desktop app when receiving texts. Audio works fine when notification sounds are tested but no sound is actually made by the computer when a text is received.

How do I save a custom response message to send when receiving a call while on another call?

Hello,I've got the caller id set to show as our company name when we call people. We want them to see the name of our company on their cell phones when we call. However, it either shows up as just the number itself or "unknown." Apparently, after talking to a RingCentral rep, caller id doesn't work at all with cell phones, only landlines. Is that really correct? If that's the case, I'm having trouble understanding why any company that is trying to sell things would use RingCentral as a phone vendor. You can't make sales when your number shows up as "unknown" or just some random number instead of the company name, which clearly relates to exactly what our product is.Am I understanding this correctly? There's really no way to have our company name show up on people's cell phones when we call them?Thank you,
