How do I use call parking?
Virtually park calls on hold and answer them from any device, regardless of its line assignments.
Tip: There is an unlimited number of parking spots available, and they can be assigned manually or by the system.
Desktop & Web app
Note: To view call parking spots, select your profile picture in the top right, go to , and then enable Parked calls.
- While on an active call, select Park.
- In the new window, select the call parking spot you’d like to use or type a custom parking spot (any number of digits, but it cannot start with 0) and then select Park Call. If you park a call to an occupied spot, the call will be transferred back to you.
- To answer a parked call, select X parked call from the top right, hover over the call you'd like to answer and then select Pick up.
