Enabling Meeting Survivability

Once the Meeting Survivability service has been deployed, administrators will need to enable Meeting Survivability at the Account and/or Group level to allow users to join meetings still while in Survivability Mode. 

In addition, once Meeting Survivability is enabled in the Zoom Web Portal, an info key string will be generated. This key string can be utilized with your Zoom Group Policy to allow clients on designated devices to join Emergency Meetings and meetings running on the Zoom Hybrid Meeting service without being logged into the Zoom Client.
