4. All you need to do is select the type of room and give it a name.
   Note:
5. If you enter a name containing Chinese characters for accounts with fewer than 10 licenses, you will be limited to 10 characters for the room name.

8. Adding multiple rooms can be done by clicking Save & Add Another. If you are adding multiple rooms, then repeat steps 4-7 for each one.

10. After you have signed in to your Zoom Room computer with the user credentials you used to activate Zoom Rooms in Getting Started with Zoom Rooms, you should proceed with the setup steps described in that section. Once you select a room that you would like, you will then be able to choose its name.
    Note: if you add only one Zoom Room, that particular room’s name will automatically be used for the room.

How to specify a default lock code

The Zoom Rooms settings page will prompt you to set a default lock code if the default value does not already exist in your Zoom Rooms account. The message asking you to specify a password for the account-level lock code may occur if the message asking you for your default password appears. Enter a password that will be used as the password for all the rooms that will be using the account password.
