Configuring Zoom Rooms auto-detection

The Zoom Rooms auto-detection feature helps ensure Zoom Workplace user applications are aware a Zoom Room is nearby.  This allows the Zoom Workplace application to be context aware, and make it easy to join Zoom meetings from a nearby Zoom Room.

These features facilitate the process of Pairing a Zoom Room with the desktop client (or a mobile client), but do not replace them.
