SIP/H.323 device call-out from Zoom Rooms


Zoom Rooms allows you to call directly to a SIP/H.323 device. You can also add SIP/H.323 devices in the Zoom web portal, which will add them to the contacts list in the Zoom Room controller. Zoom Rooms have the ability to make a call-out to one SIP/H.323 device at a time. For meetings with multiple SIP/H.323 devices, the account will need to have one license available for each device. 

Note: This setting will be disabled if End-to-end (E2EE) encryption for meetings  is enabled.
