Zoom Phone

Zoom Phone is Georgetown’s Web-based phone system for faculty and staff and is part of the Zoom platform. With Zoom Phone, you can make calls on your desktop or laptop computer, iOS or Android mobile device, or approved traditional desktop phones.

Please note, this does not affect the Cisco telephone service as it will remain the primary telephone service for the GU-Q faculty and staff. Zoom Phone cannot be used for making or receiving external calls from Qatari or US numbers. 

You will be able to use Zoom Phone through the Georgetown Zoom application on your smartphone and software on your computer, to call colleagues at the main campus and GU-Q by simply searching their name in the Zoom application. This provides an additional means for getting in touch with colleagues.

Your 5-digit Zoom Phone Number

In 2023, the main campus completed the implementation of the Zoom Phone system to replace their aging Cisco/Avaya phone systems. Main campus faculty and staff have been allocated a five-digit Zoom Phone extension number. To be aligned with the main campus, GU-Q faculty and staff Zoom Phones will be set up with a five-digit Zoom Phone extension number. However, 8 will be appended at the start of your existing extension number. For example, an employee with extension 8999 will be set up with the Zoom Phone extension of 88999.

Use Zoom Phone

To make and receive calls from GU-Q or main campus colleagues through the Georgetown Zoom application, simply log into the Georgetown Zoom account, and make and receive calls.
