Using Zoom Rooms daily audio testing

The Zoom Rooms daily audio testing automatically conducts an audio test in your Zoom Room each morning between 2 AM and 4 AM, local time. It uses the speaker and microphone to test for echo. If echo is found, an alert will be displayed on the Zoom Room controller. You can also conduct a manual test from the Zoom Room controller at any time.

An alert is displayed on both the Zoom Room controller and the display before the audio test is started. Users can cancel the test before the automatic testing or at any point during the test.
