Testing a Zoom Room setup

Zoom Room can be set up without a license if you want to test Zoom Room functionality or join meetings without paying for a license. In an unlicensed room, you can only use a limited number of features when you test a meeting or join a meeting. The ability to send and receive video and audio is at your fingertips. However, you cannot invite attendees to the event, record the event, or share the content with others.

It is possible to test a Zoom Room remotely if you have already logged into a Zoom Rooms display using the web-based Zoom Rooms controller.
