[Administrator] Set up Zoom Rooms on Exchange 2013/2016

When calendar resources are integrated with Zoom Room, the room’s TV display, controller, and scheduling display will show the meetings scheduled for that room.

Benefits of integrating with Exchange 2013/2016 

  • Users in your account can schedule meetings in Zoom Room by inviting the meeting room to a meeting.
  • Meeting rooms are assigned as calendar resources through the calendar service.
  • By giving Zoom access to calendar resources, users can start and join meetings with one touch.

What Exchange administrators need to do to enable adding Calendar Services for Zoom Rooms

  • Create a dedicated user in Exchange that can manage calendars
  • Create or search calendar resources used by each Zoom Room
  • Allow dedicated users full proxy access to each calendar resource
  • Allow dedicated users to edit each calendar resource
  • Update settings for each calendar resource using Windows Powershell

Once the Exchange administrator has completed these steps, it will use the credentials of the dedicated user to grant permissions to Zoom Rooms in the account to use the calendar service and all its calendar resources.
