Users can reserve a workspace in the office through Workspace Reservations. Whether it is on the Zoom Web portal, the Virtual Receptionist Kiosk, the Zoom Rooms for Touch devices, or at the office, users can easily reserve available desks and meeting rooms. With Workspace Reservations, you can check-in to Zoom-enabled desks, view interactive maps, and check whether desks are occupied with QR codes.

Activating workspaces is just as simple as uploading a floor map. From there, Admins and account owners can display visual cues of available and reserved workspaces for wayfinding on kiosks and digital signage, as well as viewing the workspaces online for free.
