Managing Workspace Reservation floor maps

Last Updated:

To complete setting up Workspace Reservation, workspaces must be placed on a map to be reservable. You must upload a floor map to the Zoom web portal to configure this option. Once this is done, you can designate the areas on the floor map that match the locations of your organization’s workspaces. This allows users to view the floor map and reserve these spaces.

Note: Each workspace must have a calendar resource to be reservable.
