Using Zoom Rooms scheduling display

The Zoom Rooms app can use a second tablet as a room management tool to schedule and view upcoming meetings. Run the Zoom Rooms controller in scheduling display mode and position the tablet outside of a conference room to display the room's availability and allow it to be reserved. The scheduling display will show all upcoming meetings for that day. You can also allow users to cancel their reservation. 

Unlimited scheduling display rooms are included with the purchase of one or more Zoom Rooms licenses, but only up to 10 scheduling displays can be associated with a single Zoom Room. 

Scheduling displays can utilize the same calendar integrations as regular Zoom Rooms: Google Calendar, Office 365, or Microsoft Exchange. They can also use the check in feature to manage room utilization and release a room from the calendar if no one starts the meeting or checks in to the room.
