Handing off a phone call to a Zoom Room
If you make a call using Zoom Phone, you can easily hand off the call to a Zoom Room. For example, if you're in a phone call using the Zoom mobile app, then walk into a Zoom Room set up as a phone booth, you can hand off the call to the Zoom Room to take advantage of a hands-free calling experience.
Note: If the Zoom Room has a meeting in progress while you're in a Zoom Phone call, you can invite the call to the meeting.
