Assigning Macs to Zoom Rooms is made easier using Zoom’s mobile device management tool (ZDM), which is available for system administrators. In the event that the Zoom Room you’ve selected from the web is assigned on your device and it turns on, the device will automatically log into the Zoom Room you’ve selected on your device. There is no need to use activation codes, email addresses for sign-in, or pairing codes with ZDM with regards to activation codes. ZDM also allows you to upgrade the device as well as rename it with ease.
