How the attendee count feature temporarily stores information

As part of the Zoom room computer’s functionality, the Zoom room computer stores and counts images that will be used for generating a temporary participant count when using the attendee count feature for Zoom Rooms. This temporary participant count is stored on several different files.

Windows: %appdata%\ZoomRooms\logs\FaceCount

macOS: ~/Library/Logs/ZoomRooms/faceCount

In order to remove these files, the following conditions must be met:

• In the case of a meeting or a counting, this will be done after it is over.
• The process will begin when the Zoom Room is closed.
• Once the Zoom Room has been restarted, the process will begin.
• It is not enabled by default.

Zoom Rooms Appliances: As a result, when using the Zoom Room Appliance Attendee Number feature, the Zoom Room Appliance is informed by the underlying hardware of the participant number. For the purpose of generating a participant count, Zoom Rooms does not generate or store any images.
