Using the Zoom Rooms Controller app
Using the Zoom Rooms Controller app, it is possible to manage Zoom Room meetings and interact with the Zoom Rooms Controller in a Zoom Room without having to interact with the Zoom Rooms Controller in the room itself. If you use the Zoom Room app on your smartphone or tablet, you will be able to control Zoom Room during meetings by pairing the device with the Zoom Room or Zoom for Home device.
A Zoom Room is capable of supporting ten controllers at the same time. We do not count Zoom Room scheduling displays, Zoom app desktop controllers, Zoom application mobile device controllers, Zoom mobile device controllers for iOS or Android devices or pairs of Zoom desktop and mobile clients towards this limit, as they each have their own, separate limits, which they do not count against.
