Adding Zoom Rooms with a Zoom Rooms controller

There are two ways to add Zoom Rooms; from the web portal or on the Zoom Room Controller. 

You can quickly add a new Zoom Room from the Zoom Room controller. Setting the room up from the controller allows you to set the room name, a calendar integration, location, and the room passcode. If you need to configure additional options, use the web portal.

Zoom Rooms support a maximum of ten controllers simultaneously. Zoom Room scheduling displays, web-based controllers, Zoom app desktop controllers, iOS/Android mobile device controllers, and paired Zoom desktop and mobile clients do not count against this limit, as they have their own, separate limits.

Prerequisites for adding Zoom Rooms with a Zoom Rooms controller

• Computer that meets the hardware requirements
• Controller device that meets the hardware requirements
• Zoom Rooms global minimum version or higher
• Zoom Rooms Controller global minimum version or higher

Note: Zoom Rooms for Touch on the iPad does not support the use of a paired Zoom Rooms Controller; instead, use the Zoom Rooms for Touch controls on the iPad itself.

Notes:

• If you add a Zoom Room with an Android or Windows controller, the room type will default to Zoom Rooms (for shared spaces).
• The iOS controller has two modes: Zoom Rooms controller and Zoom Rooms for Touch. If you add a room in Zoom Rooms controller mode, the room type will default to Zoom Rooms (for shared spaces). If you add a room in Zoom Rooms for Touch mode, the room type will default to Personal Zoom Room.
• If you have trouble connecting the controller to the room system, please check your firewall configuration.
