Mass-deploying with preconfigured settings for Android in zoom app
The Zoom mobile app can be remotely configured on managed Android devices by using a Mobile Device Management (MDM) application managed by a system administrator. It allows administrators to control which settings must be used, and which settings can be disabled completely.
Using Zoom Device Management, it is possible to enroll mobile apps into and manage them in the Zoom web portal, which allows you to centrally manage the settings of desktop clients and mobile apps in the Zoom web portal.
Find out how to set up Zoom with pre-configured settings on Windows devices, macOS devices, and iOS devices that work on a variety of operating systems. It is also possible to centrally configure settings for Zoom’s desktop client and mobile app using Zoom’s own Device Management platform.
Prerequisites for using MDM to configure Zoom on Android
-
A smartphone or tablet that runs Android 5 or later is required
-
A software application such as AirWatch or Microsoft Intune that provides Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM)
