Using the Yealink CP965 in a Zoom Room
You can configure a Yealink CP965 to act as a Zoom Rooms controller, microphone, and speaker. Zoom and Yealink have partnered to provide this combined solution by embedding the Zoom Rooms controller software in the Yealink CP965 firmware.
The Yealink CP965 allows you to easily adjust the volume and mute/unmute the microphone. You can also start or join a meeting, start a presentation, and control the camera on the CP965 directly.
Note: The CP965 is a replacement of the CP960 model.
