Connecting to Zoom Rooms from the mobile app

The Zoom mobile app can connect with your Zoom Room, which allows you to start or join a meeting in the Zoom Room and perform other actions.

You can also connect the Zoom desktop app with a nearby Zoom Room.

Notes:

• Zoom Rooms support association to any number of paired mobile clients, but not mobile client Room Controllers which are limited to a maximum of ten. Zoom Room scheduling displays, web-based controllers, Zoom app desktop controllers, iOS/Android mobile device controllers, and paired Zoom desktop and mobile clients do not count against this limit, as they have their own, separate limits.
• Connecting to a Zoom Room with a free user account, then hosting a meeting, will cause that meeting to use the 40 minute time limit tied to free accounts.
