  1. Description of the Idea:
    Managing multiple incoming calls currently presents challenges for users, especially when already engaged on a call. The application automatically brings a new incoming call to the foreground and plays continuous audio notifications, which can be intrusive and disruptive.

    Problem Statement:

    • Users have a limited time window to handle the incoming call before the UI forcibly shifts focus.
    • Ongoing call-related actions or tasks may be lost or interrupted due to forced UI changes.
    • Continuous audio notifications during an active call can be overly intrusive, affecting call quality and user focus.

    Suggested Improvements:

    • When a user switches back…

  2. Description of the Idea:
    When assigning a phone number during user creation, RingCentral currently shows only the phone number itself, with no label or name indicating its current usage or purpose. This can lead to accidental assignment of numbers that are already in use for redirects, call queues, auto-receptionists, or external routing, potentially disrupting existing call flows.

    Problem Statement:
    - Admins cannot easily distinguish between numbers that are reserved, actively used, or intended for specific services.
    - As a result, it's possible to mistakenly assign a number used for redirection to a new user.
    - This introduces unexpected behavior and…

  3. Description of the Idea:
    When creating a new user within a specific site, administrators should be able to assign a phone number associated with that site. Currently, only company-level (main account) numbers are available in the number selection list, even if the site has its own pool of numbers.

    Problem Statement:

    • This behavior limits proper resource segregation by site.
    • It results in manual workarounds (e.g., creating the user first, then reassigning the number manually later).
    • It contradicts the site-based organizational model and reduces the benefits of multi-site configuration.

    Suggested Improvement:

    • When creating or assigning a user within a given site,…

  4. Description of the Idea:
    When modifying a Call Queue’s distribution method (e.g., Round-Robin, Simultaneous, etc.), custom call handling rules that use callHandlingAction = AgentQueue are not updated accordingly. This leads to operational inconsistencies and requires manual updates to each rule individually, which is error-prone and time-consuming.

    Suggested Improvement:
    Introduce automatic synchronization between a queue’s main distribution settings and all custom rules that use that queue via callHandlingAction = AgentQueue.

    This could be implemented in one of two ways:

    • Add a new boolean attribute, e.g. syncqueuedistribution, in the PUT /business-hours-rule request. When true, all relevant rules will inherit the…

  5. Description of the Idea:
    During Hold/Unhold transitions, RingCentral internally switches the RTP source without SIP renegotiation and while keeping the same SSRC. Although the stream appears continuous (same SSRC, coherent sequence numbers), this design leads to misinterpretation by VoIP monitoring tools such as OCOM or SIP Capture HOMER, which are widely used in enterprise environments.

    Suggested Improvement:
    Introduce a mechanism to explicitly signal the change of RTP source, such as:

    • Changing the SSRC, as recommended in [RFC 3550 §8.1],
    • Resetting RTP timestamps or sequence numbers,
    • Using the RTP marker bit to indicate a discontinuity.

    This would help monitoring systems correctly…

  6. Request Summary:
    The customer would like the ability to display both the Engagement score and the Scorecard score simultaneously in the Interactions view within RingSense.

    Current Limitation:
    At present, the “Score” column in the Interactions view only supports displaying either Engagement or Scorecard, but not both at the same time. This limitation requires users to toggle between views, resulting in a fragmented user experience.

    Customer Need:
    The ability to view both scores side by side is important for teams analyzing call quality and agent performance comprehensively. Engagement provides insight into customer interaction levels, while the Scorecard reflects adherence to evaluation…

  9. Customer is not happy regarding our process in manually enabling the SMS feature of a newly added Canadian number for SMS. It would be best if the SMS feature would be enabled by default for Canadian numbers especially if it would be only use to send SMS inside Canada.

  11. Voice Mail Phone Notification (WMI) of desk phones is no longer available after loss of power or reboot. The backend only sends notifications to switch WMI on or off. It cannot detect if a phone has been rebooted, which might necessitate resending the WMI notification. Suggesting for WMI to stay even after loss of power.

  12. After I updated the Cover Page Info for one of my extensions, i received a security email notification saying that the Contact mailing address for this extension was changed. This is misleading because nowhere on the Fax Setings Cover Page Info page it mentions that this info is used as Contact mailing address. Please remove this confusion by either adding Contact mailing address label to Cover Page Info page, or rephrasing the security email notification to say Cover Page Info instead of Contact mailing address

  15. The termed users in the MS 365 as 'Active users', but they marked these termed users as 'Do not show in GAL' and in the RC app, these users are still showing as company contacts; their request is to not show these users in RC app.

  17. I want to ensure that we have a backup of the chats. Some of our users have lost their chat history, and it's impossible to retrieve those conversations. Having a chat backup option would be beneficial for users, allowing them to recover their data.

  18. Feature Enhancement Request: Enable Selection or Configuration of Caller ID for Shared Lines in Admin Portal When Using Call Return from Voicemail

    Current Behavior:
    When users listen to voicemail messages over the phone and utilize the call return feature, the outgoing call is automatically placed using the default main phone number as the caller ID. This behavior applies regardless of the line or site the user is associated with.

    Proposed Enhancement:
    Introduce the ability for administrators to configure or allow users to select the appropriate caller ID—specifically the site or shared line caller ID—when initiating a call return from voicemail.…
