In order to schedule and view upcoming meetings using Zoom Rooms, a second tablet can be used as a management tool for room scheduling and room management. Position the tablet outside a conference room and run the Zoom Rooms controller in scheduling display mode to display the room’s availability and reserve it. All upcoming meetings will be displayed on the scheduling display. Reservations can also be canceled by users.

Zoom Rooms licenses include unlimited scheduling display rooms, but each Zoom Room can only have up to 10 scheduling displays.

In addition to using Google Calendar, Office 365, and Microsoft Exchange for scheduling displays, scheduling displays can also be integrated with Zoom Rooms. If no one starts the meeting or checks in to the room, a room can be released from the calendar. Check in for more information.

What is required to add a scheduling display to a room

It is possible to use a scheduling display in a normal room if you have a Zoom Rooms system, but if you do not have one, you can add the schedule to a normal room. The use of Zoom Rooms is not required to be able to do this. This room type can be used for in-person meetings that do not require the full functionality of Zoom Rooms since they are only used for scheduling. There is no possibility of hosting a Zoom meeting in this room or joining one that is already in progress. As long as the calendar system is integrated with the controller, users are able to reserve the room through a calendar system or reserve it directly through the controller for the same-day meeting.

For these rooms, all that is required is a tablet for the display of upcoming meetings and for the reservation of the room. Computers and screens are not available to them.

1. Log into the Zoom web portal by entering your email address and password.
2. To access Zoom Rooms, you will need to click on Room Management from the navigation menu.
3. In the Add Room window, click the Add Room button.
4. The name of the room should be entered here.
5. In order for the room to be able to use the Calendar Service, you need to select a Calendar Resource.
   Note:
6. It is optional to set up this feature for other rooms, but it is a requirement if you wish to use the scheduling feature for display rooms.
7. Select Reservation Only under Room Type.
8. Save & Add Another or click Finish.

How to customize the scheduling display from the web portal

Scheduling display device and app Info

In case you want to use a different device for scheduling displays, you can display the version and device details.

1. Zoom Rooms administrators can access the Zoom web portal by clicking the Zoom Rooms tab.
2. Click the Devices tab after clicking the name of the room.
   This device is listed among the associated devices in the room.
3. A scheduling display can be removed by hovering over it and clicking Remove at the bottom.

Instant Room Reservation

The scheduling display allows users to reserve a room instantly by default. Activate or deactivate instant room reservations by following these steps:

1. Click the Zoom Rooms tab once you’re logged in as a Zoom Rooms administrator.
2. Next to the room for which you want instant reservations enabled or disabled, click Edit.
3. Select Scheduling Display from the menu.
4. Activate or deactivate Instant Room Reservation by clicking the toggle.

Background image

In the scheduling display, the background image is used for the home screen, which displays information on the upcoming meetings and the status of the meeting rooms on the schedule display. The background image can be set to match the background image used in Zoom Rooms for your workspace. Additionally, you have the option of setting a specific background image for the scheduling display, if you wish.

There are a few guidelines that should be followed when choosing the background image:

• File format: There are three formats available: GIF, JPG/JPEG, or 24-bit PNG (without alpha channel).
• Suggested dimensions: The size of the image should be at least 1920 x 1080 pixels (16:9 aspect ratio). The scheduling display will zoom in on an image if it is not in a 16:9 aspect ratio, or if it is not large enough to fill the screen of the scheduling display when you use an image that does not have a 16:9 aspect ratio.
• Note: If you are using the scheduling display in portrait mode, we recommend using an image that is 1080px by 1920px (9:16 aspect ratio). The scheduling display will zoom in on an image with an aspect ratio of 16:9 if you use it.
• Because upcoming meetings, the date, time, and room name are displayed over white text on the scheduling display, it’s best not to use very light-colored background images.

1. As a Zoom Rooms administrator, sign in to your account.
2. You can access Zoom Rooms by clicking Room Management in the navigation menu.
3. Click Edit next to the room.
