Zoom Phone User Directory

With North Way moving to use Zoom as our phone provider, the way to lookup or transfer a phone call has changed a bit.  In Zoom, everyone is given an extension number and optionally an external phone number.  Instead of remembering these extensions or numbers, there is a user directory available.  You can use the user directory to lookup coworkers when initiating a call or transferring a call.

Zoom is setup by default to open the iPhone's native Phone UI if the Zoom app isn't open.  This should only effect iOS devices.
