Deploying the Real-time Web Gateway for hybrid meetings

Zoom Node now enables account owners and administrators the ability to deploy local Real-time Web Gateways as part of the Meeting Hybrid service module on Zoom Node. This setup allows the Zoom Web app to connect directly to private meetings hosted on the node, allowing web media to stay within the host's network as much as possible. Admins can configure Web app access settings at the account, group, or user level to enforce its use for private meetings or use with specific Web Access Zones.

• Business, Education, or Enterprise account
