With Zoom Device Management (ZDM), administrators can be able to remotely manage the network configuration of their Zoom Room computers and controllers, simplifying the process of creating and managing Zoom Rooms network configurations. Administrators are able to create a network configuration profile directly from their web portal by providing network configuration settings, such as SSIDs, network security types, network credentials, proxy settings, etc., by providing an array of network configuration settings. All Zoom Room managed devices are then assigned the network profile that has been created.
