When a calendar resource is integrated with a Zoom Room, the room’s TV display, controller, and scheduling display show the meetings scheduled for the room. Members of your organization can schedule a meeting in a Zoom Room by inviting the room to the meeting. Conference rooms are assigned as a calendar resource through a calendar service. Authorizing Zoom to have access to calendar resources enables users to start and join meetings in the room using one touch.

Notes:

• After you create a calendar resource in Google, it may take up to 72 hours before you can share the calendar resource with the dedicated user you created to manage calendars.
• Google Meet private calendar invites sent to Zoom Rooms will be joinable anytime. This differs from how Google Meet hardware devices handle private calendar invites.
