Once the Zoom meeting has ended, hang up the CapTel handset and increase the Volume so that the CapTel is ready for the next call.

Tips:

The time-out allowed for entering your Meeting ID and Participant ID can be brief. Be ready with the numbers you need before you place the call.
If there are multiple people on a call, you may ask participants to state their name before speaking so that the captions can indicate who is talking.
