ASM (Autonomous Single App Mode) is a feature that allows Zoom Rooms to be run on your mobile device automatically. It will stay in the foreground and run automatically. Upon signing out of the Zoom Rooms, the iPad will leave ASAM and no longer be able to access ASAM. It is also possible to leave ASAM if you experience network problems and need to resolve them on your own.
