Supported Zoom for Home and Zoom Room devices can be provisioned for users from the Zoom web portal by administrators as a Personal Zoom Room. This creates a streamlined setup process for home users, since administrators can configure and manage basic settings for them. Zoom for Home devices can also be user-managed if a certain configuration is chosen. 

Note: Personal Zoom Rooms do not support notification emails.
