Check-ins and check-outs help you make the most of your rooms at Zoom Rooms. The Zoom meeting must be started or the room reservation must be checked in when this option is enabled. It is possible for the room to be released from the scheduled meeting after a configurable number of minutes after the scheduled start time if there is no check-in within that timeframe, and the room will be made available for use by others. The activities done in Zoom Rooms such as the creation of a scheduled meeting, the creation of an instant meeting, the creation of a phone call, and the creation of a screen share act as checks-in and do not require an additional check-in.

During the course of the meeting, you may decide to check out of the meeting in order to shorten the  webinar page. Here you will see a list of scheduled meeting, and also make it available to others again in case the meeting ends earlier than expected.

How to use room check-in

You can check in to the Zoom Room by starting a scheduled meeting, instant meeting, screen sharing meeting, or by calling out from the Zoom Room. The controller or the scheduling display can also be used to check in as an alternative.

There will be a cancellation and removal of the meeting from the schedule of a meeting if you do not start or check in within the configured time frame.

Room controller

To confirm that you are in the room, tap the Check In button on the controller. As a result, the calendar controller will display Start instead of Check In when a Zoom meeting is scheduled.

Scheduling display

In order to join the Zoom meeting, tap Check In.

How to use room check-out

The Check Out option on the controller makes the room available for others when your meeting finishes early and you wish to make the room available to others.
