Overview
Many rooms on campus are equipped with larger hardware-based video conferencing systems. For rooms with these systems, it is possible to add this room system as a Zoom meeting as a participant.
What materials do I need?
How do I use this technology?
- Start the Zoom application on your computer.
- Log in to the application using the "Sign in with SSO" option.
- Start a scheduled or an ad-hoc meeting.
Important
If you are in the same room as the H.323/SIP room system that you are trying to add, do not join computer audio.
- Find the participants button on the Zoom Toolbar and click the caret (^) to the right and choose “Invite.”
- From the following windows Choose “Room System” and then select the “Call Out” option.
- In the drop-down that reads “IP address of E.164 number" either drop down the menu and locate the room that you desire or begin type the room number to provide an abbreviated list. The drop-down is organized alphabetically first by Campus, then by Building Acronym, then by Room Number.
- Select “Call”
The system will call out to the H.323/SIP room system selected which will join the meeting automatically.
Note
For security reasons, H.323/SIP room systems are usually configured to be muted automatically when joining a meeting. As such you will need to unmute the H.323/SIP room system using either the room control system or the remote control depending on the room.
