What it Does

• Enables your Zoom Room hardware to display programmed digital signage content when not in use for an event.

• At a set time before a scheduled event, or when someone interacts with the room, the system will automatically switch to standard Zoom functionality.

• After the event, it will switch back to your programmed signage content.

With Korbyt, you are able to have detailed content schedules and share real-time statistics and dashboards, not just a set of pictures and videos. This enables better focus and meaningful communication to your team than the standard Zoom Signage offering.

Zoom Bulk Provisioning

To provision a large list of Zoom Rooms to Korbyt at one time using Korbyt’s bulk provisioning feature, you first will need to get all of the room ID values from your rooms.

You can find the Zoom API call here to retrieve the list of these. Zoom Rooms API (specifically looking for ‘room_id’ in the GET /rooms response)

The room_id is the value that can be used to generate a player in Korbyt. In order to use this, place the value of the room_id prepended with ‘zid: ‘ in order to specify that this is a Zoom Room being bulk provisioned.

For example, the first column value for a Zoom Room in the bulk provisioning CSV should look similar to the following
