Deploying a Team Chat Hybrid module

With the Team Chat Hybrid Module for Zoom Node, organizations can deploy on-premise chat storage servers to be used with Zoom Team Chat. When deploying the Team Chat Hybrid service, admins will need to create a Node location (which will need to be verified) and deploy at least one load balancer and a proxy server for either Elastisearch or MongoDB.
