Zoom Room can be set up without a license if you wish to test the Zoom Room’s functionality or to join meetings without paying for a license. In an unlicensed room, you will only be able to use a limited number of functions when testing or joining a meeting. The capability of sending and receiving video and audio will be available to you. Nevertheless, you are not able to invite participants to the event, record the event, or share the content with others.
