Testing a Zoom Room setup
If you’d like to test Zoom Rooms functionality or join a meeting without a license, you can create a Zoom Room. An unlicensed room has limited functionality when testing or attending a meeting. Video and audio can be sent and received. There will be no possibility of inviting participants, recording, or sharing content.
The Zoom Rooms web-based controller can be used to test a Zoom Room remotely if you are already signed into a Zoom Rooms display.
