Zoom Rooms video conferencing systems use appliance or custom hardware deployments to bring high-quality video, audio, and sharing to any type of workspace, making it extremely flexible. Easily connect to participants on mobile devices, desktops, and in other rooms across a variety of locations. The Zoom Rooms app on iPad has five modes to choose from: Zoom Rooms Controller, Zoom Rooms for Touch, scheduling display, workspace desk, and reservation only room. Zoom Rooms Controller Connect your iPad to a Mac, PC, or Zoom Rooms Appliance as the dedicated Zoom Rooms Controller for that room. The iPhone app allows you to pair with a Zoom Room, giving you similar control functionality from your personal mobile device. Zoom Rooms for Touch Use the iPad as a Zoom Rooms (for shared spaces), Zoom Rooms kiosk, personal Zoom Rooms or Zoom Rooms digital signage only device. Zoom Rooms (for shared spaces) and personal Zoom Rooms allow you to start or join Zoom meetings, start a Zoom Whiteboard session, and access other Zoom Rooms features.
