Joining a third party meeting from a Zoom Room
Meetings can be joined with Zoom Rooms using Skype for Business, Microsoft Teams, WebEx, GoToMeeting, Fuze or Google Hangout, and participants can join the meeting with only a single click. As a result, these features may be useful for businesses moving from other video conferencing solutions to Zoom, or for companies who collaborate with vendors and customers who use third party meeting services and are migrating from them to Zoom.
A third-party interoperability service such as Polycom RealConnect, Pexip, Webex CMR, or GTM InRoomLink is required for Skype for Business, WebEx, and GoToMeeting in order to enable the interoperability. Zoom Rooms are with the ability to access the third-party hosting meeting details that are included in invitations from third parties, as long as the invitation has a SIP address to enable interop dialing. Zoom Rooms will then be able to generate a one-touch join button for the third-party meeting that can be accessed via the invitation.
There are some organizations that can be joined as audio-only participants when they have either Skype for Business, WebEx, or GoToMeeting, but do not have the interoperability services listed above. A Google Hangouts meeting will always be audio-only irrespective of the availability of interoperability services, as audio-only participants will always be able to join the meeting. One click of a button will allow you to join the audio conference in the Zoom Room. Callout is an option that needs to be enabled on your Zoom audio conferencing plan in order to enable this feature. A third party meeting can be held in the room by using a computer, which is connected to the display in the room so participants within the room can view content and receive video from the computer. Using a Zoom Room, you will be able to share your screen with others.

How to use third party SIP/H.323 one click join
I would recommend sending the room a calendar invitation with the meeting information provided by the third-party service, which includes the SIP/H.323 address and the meeting ID of the meeting.
