Zoom Meeting vs. Zoom Rooms: What’s the Difference? 

The standard Zoom Meeting platform is a reliable solution for smaller businesses and individuals logging in at home. Zoom Rooms is a more suitable solution for larger enterprises with many departments logging into a meeting. 

Zoom Rooms combines AV hardware with Zoom video-conferencing software, built for spaces like huddle rooms, conference rooms, classrooms, and executive offices. You choose the hardware that fits the room’s size and purpose, including cameras, microphones, speakers, screens, or tablets. The Zoom software is then integrated to operate with your AV system. 

What Can You Do with Zoom Rooms? 

Zoom Rooms takes Zoom Meetings and expands them to new possibilities. Your conferencing audio will now integrate over the room’s speakers while multiple staff members can share their screens simultaneously. Wireless content sharing makes collaboration quicker, and you can drag and draw on your touchscreen. 

Zoom Rooms offers several add-on features, like cloud recording, audio conferencing, and larger meetings with up to 1,000 participants. The management interface makes it simpler to deploy and manage conference rooms, connecting up to 300 Zoom Rooms at once. You’ll receive alerts and can view reports to make sure every system is running smoothly. 

What Other Software Is Zoom Rooms Compatible With? 

Zoom Rooms can integrate with Microsoft Teams and Google Meet, making it easier to collaborate with clients and freelancers on other platforms. Your Google Calendar can sync with the software to organize meetings and take you right into a Zoom call. 

What Hardware Should My Business Use with Zoom Rooms?

Zoom doesn’t provide its customers conferencing hardware, but it’s compatible with most AV equipment, from Sonos to Crestron. You can pick and choose the cameras, speakers, and screens you’d like to use and connect them all via Zoom Rooms. If you are in need of AV equipment but aren’t sure about the commitment, consider AV as a service for all the technology you need at a low monthly subscription fee.
