Configuring auto login for Zoom Rooms


Enabling auto login on your room device will allow the Zoom Room application to start automatically in the event of system restart. Since this is a recommended setting on Windows and Mac, the installer will prompt you to configure auto login on your device.

Prerequisites for configuring auto login for Zoom Rooms

How to configure auto login

Enable Auto Login

  1. Press Win+R to open the Run dialog box.
  2. In the Run dialog box, type netplwiz then hit Enter or click OK.

      • Click Accounts.
      • Click Sign-in options.
      • Click the toggle to Off next to Require Windows Hello sign-in for Microsoft accounts on Windows 10 devices. On Windows 11 devices, click the toggle to Off next to only allow Windows Hello sign-in for Microsoft accounts on this device.
        • Once disabled, the checkbox for Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer will appear when running netplwiz.
  5. Enter the user name and password, and click OK. Please note that Windows does not verify if the auto login password you entered is correct. You must ensure that the credentials are right.
