Prerequisites for using Zoom Events from a Zoom Room

• Zoom desktop client

  • macOS: 5.10.0 or higher
• Zoom Rooms version 5.10.0 or higher
• Zoom Rooms controller version 5.10.0 or higher

How to attend Zoom Events with your personal Zoom Room

Your personal Zoom Room shares the same information as your desktop client. Any meetings or scheduled events that you can view in the desktop client will display in your personal Zoom Room as well. After you register for a Zoom Event, your event will display in both your desktop client and your personal Zoom Room calendar. By using a personal Zoom Room, you do not need to pair to join Zoom Events; your personal Zoom Room belongs to you, and essentially, shares your Zoom identity.

1. Register for a Zoom Event.
2. Sign in to Zoom Rooms.
   The event’s date(s) and time(s) will be displayed on both your desktop client and personal Zoom Room meeting list.
3. On the personal Zoom Room interface, from the meeting list, tap the topic of the session you want to attend.
4. Tap the Join Lobby button.
   The event lobby will appear. On the left side of the lobby, your event session list will display sessions in chronological order. On the right side of the lobby, the session details page will be displayed.
5. Next to the session you want to join, click Join.
   Notes:
   • The Join button will be active (displayed as blue) when the session is within 30 minutes of starting or when the host starts the session.
   • Attendees can join the meeting and will be placed in a waiting queue if the Host is not present or in a waiting room if enabled by the host.

You can still access the event lobby from your Zoom desktop client and join other ongoing sessions. When a session has ended, the session entry will be removed from your Zoom Room calendar.

How to pair Zoom Rooms on the desktop client

If you do not have a personal Zoom Room, you can choose to pair your desktop client with any Zoom Room that shares the same domain. The Zoom desktop client can pair with your Zoom Room to allow you to join a Zoom Event on the Zoom Room from the desktop client.
