Starting a telephone-only Zoom Rooms meeting

Zoom Rooms has the ability to start a meeting with only PSTN/Telephony (telephone dialing) audio as the basis for the meeting. There is a requirement that you must have a PSTN phone, VoIP phone or SIP dialer in the Zoom Room. For example, Revolabs UC1500/1000 is a good example.

Prerequisites

  • The Zoom Rooms software version 5.1.0 or higher is required
  • You can dial a PSTN number, a VoIP number, or a SIP number
