**Description**  
I’m wanting to get the number of active phone calls in a queue to display on a dashboard. I can find the current number of users who are logged onto the queue, but not who are currently on answered calls that I can see? Is there a work around for this?

We currently process webhooks to show when the users answer and hangup a call, but its problematic because of people who log into multiple devices we have to process a lot of variables and it gets out of sync if a webhook is not processed/fails etc.

Hi @beitsafejess ,

Are you able to use the [list call queues API endpoint](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/phone/methods#tag/Call-Queues)?

The “status” field in the call queues object will show which are “active”.

Let me know if this works for your needs.

Best,  
Gianni

Hi Gianna - thanks for your response.

I believe that would tell me how many queues are active, but not how many calls are active/answered within that individual queue?

Hi,

I’m also looking for a way to retrieve these details.

Ideally a webhook could be created to provide the queue name/id and the details of people in the queue (total time in queue or added to queue datetime) which updates any time some is added/removed from the queue.

Otherwise, I believe hitting the following API should return this information:  
[Zoom Phone API](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/phone/methods/#tag/Call-Queues/operation/getACallQueue).

If this already exists somewhere please point me in the right direction! I’ve scoured through all of the documentation and have had no luck finding these key pieces of information.

Hi @beitsafejess , correct it shows the active call queues but we don’t have an endpoint or event specific to active phone calls (cc @davidd). I’ll see if this is in our current product roadmap!
