Enabling or disabling Automatic Check In
Account owners and admins can enable a setting to automatically check users into their workspace reservation when their Zoom mobile app detects that they have connected to the office WiFi. When a user's mobile device running a Zoom app is connected to the designated office network, the user is automatically checked into their desk reservation(s) that day. This allows account owners and admins to more accurately track workspace utilization without users needing to remember to manually check-in. This setting requires account owners and admins to configure the office WiFi details at each location so Zoom apps can detect when a user is connected. When enabled, users will receive an alert when they are automatically checked in upon connecting to the office WiFi.
