Managing workspaces on the web portal
Workspace Reservation allows users to reserve workspaces in the office. Users can easily reserve available desks or meeting spaces either at the office, on the Virtual Receptionist Kiosk and Zoom Rooms for Touch devices, or the Zoom web portal. Workspace Reservation provides easy QR code check-in to Zoom device-enabled desks or to be printed at desks without devices, interactive maps, and desk occupancy status.
Admins and account owners can easily set up the workspaces, upload a floor map, and have a live view of available and reserved spaces displayed on a kiosk and/or digital signage.
Note: The Workspace Reservation Beta license is extended until July 31, 2024, until users renew their licenses. After the expiration date, users must purchase a Workspace Reservation license to continue managing and utilizing their workspaces. Learn more about the Workspace Reservation Beta license expiration.
