Starting a meeting from a SIP/H.323 endpoint in Zoom
By using your host key or pairing from the web, you are able to start an H.323 or SIP meeting from a device with an H.323 or SIP protocol. There are certain host functions that can be used when a Zoom client or Zoom Room starts a meeting using the SIP/H.323 host key, unlike Zoom Rooms or other Zoom clients:
- Locking and unlocking a meeting
- Recordings can be started and stopped from the cloud
- It is possible to show participants within a waiting room and allow them to all enter it
- When a participant enters the room, mute them
- It is time to end the meeting

Prerequisites for starting a meeting from a SIP/H.323 endpoint
- Your account has been enabled with Cloud Room Connector
- It is necessary for the host to be a licensed user
How to include the Host Key in the Dial String
If you include the host key in the dial string of the meeting, you will be able to join as the host.
Note: A meeting password has been modified in order to adapt to a room system with a keypad that allows only numeric characters to be entered on its keypad. When a meeting invite is created, the passwords are converted into a number string rather than a character string. Only room systems require passwords in order to operate, so this change does not affect other types of devices.
