Zoom Room Implementation

Zoom Rooms is a software-based room system that provides an integrated experience for audio conferencing, wireless screen sharing, and video conferencing. Zoom Rooms can be used for room-only attendees, or remote attendees joining from another room, from their desktop, or from their mobile device.

Each room requires, at minimum, a Zoom Rooms ApplianceiPad, macOS, or Windows computer that runs the Zoom Rooms software. Unless you are using a touch device, the room will also need a Zoom Rooms controller, which could be a purpose built controller, iPad, Android tablet, or windows attached usb controller running the Zoom Rooms Controller software. Additional equipment can include TV displays, speakers, cameras, microphones, and an additional controller device that operates as a Zoom Rooms Scheduling Display. Devices can be enrolled in Zoom Device Management to provide additional remote management from the Zoom web portal.
