Managing the Workspace Check-In/Check-Out setting

The Workspace Check-In and Check-Out feature makes your workspace reservations efficient. When enabled, users can check in and out of a workspace. This setting only applies to desks and customizable space types. The Room Check-In and Check-Out setting must be changed in Zoom Room settings. Additionally, when this setting is enabled, users are required to check in. Account owners and admins can enable this setting to allow workspace check-in while disabling the setting to release the reservation after a specified amount of time. 

Starting a scheduled meeting, starting an instant meeting, making a phone call, and starting a screen share count as checking in and do not require a separate check-in. For desks and reservation-only room workspaces, QR codes can be printed and placed on workspaces for check-in.

If the reservation ends earlier than expected, users can check out of the reservation, which shortens the calendar event and makes that unused time available again for others to use.

Prerequisites for managing Workspace Reservation check-in/check-out

• Either a Zoom Workspace Reservation subscription, Zoom Rooms subscription, or Zoom Common Area Phone subscription
• Account owner or admin privileges
