Deploying the Real-time Web Gateway for hybrid meetings

Zoom Node enables account owners and administrators to deploy local Real-time Web Gateways as part of the Meeting Hybrid service module. This setup lets the Zoom Web app connect directly to private meetings hosted on the node, keeping web media within the host's network as much as possible. Once deployed, each Web Access Gateway can support up to 150 concurrent web client users. 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.

Note: This feature must be enabled by Zoom.

• Business, Education, or Enterprise account
