Join a Zoom meeting
The meeting host or an in-room participant must have a Zoom Conference Room Connector (CRC) licence to connect via the Room Kit.
University-managed Zoom CRC licences
The University has a Zoom account, managed by UIS, that has CRC licenses. If you hold a small Zoom account and would like to become part of the University account, please contact the Telecoms Helpdesk at phones@uis.cam.ac.uk
- Tap the control panel to wake it if needed, then tap Join Zoom:
- Enter the Meeting ID and passcode (if you have one).
- If you’re the meeting host, tap Host.
You will need your Host Key, found on your Zoom account settings page.
You may prefer to connect the Room Kit as a normal participant, then personally connect as Host on your laptop so you can use all Zoom’s features.
- Tap Connect to Zoom.
If the meeting host has a CRC licence for their Zoom account, the Room Kit will now connect.
You may get an alert asking for a Conference Room Connector (CRC) Licence if you are joining a meeting hosted by someone who doesn’t have one. The big Room Kit screen will display a pairing code and a participant in the room with a CRC licence will need to pair the Room Kit.
