For merging the calls and enabling the three-way call, you have to select the merge icon and then choose a number or person with which you can merge. 

Remember, During a 3-way call, when a call participant quits the call, the call remains for the other two phone users.

However, the audio prompt sometimes can be disabled by the consent of the zoom admin. Play or manage the recording with the mobile app, desktop client, or web portal. Further, the zoom admin has access to the ad hoc call recordings when the ad hoc recording was made for inbound or outbound call queue calls.

  • When you add a call after the enabling of automatic call recording, then it will continue for the initial call. Zoom phones by default will begin a new recording for the added call. At the time you merge the call the fresh recording will continue for the merged call. 
  • When your zoom admin has disabled the ad hoc call recording or in a way enabled the auto-recording then the record button will get inaccessible. However, you can still access the existing recordings.
