Zoom Integration
This feature was added in RX version 2022.2 - April
The Zoom Integration allows you to link Zoom Rooms and ResourceXpress.
Prerequisites
ResourceXpress v2022.2 or above with an Exchange or Hybrid Licence.
ResourceXpress user account with System Settings and Resource List access.
Zoom account with Admin access to Room Management.
1 or more Zoom Rooms connected with an Exchange/Office365 Mailbox via OAuth 2.0 & Graph API.
Zoom Configuration
Integration with Office 365
If you are connecting Zoom with Office 365 then please expand the section below.

If you are connecting Zoom with Exchange then please use the guide provided by Zoom.

Room Settings
Zoom Room → Office365/Exchange
Each Zoom Room that will be connected with ResourceXpress will need to be connected to a mailbox in Office365/Exchange.
Navigate to https://zoom.us/location.
Select Edit for the Zoom Room you want to connect with RX.
Under the settings header, Basic, find Calendar (optional).
In the first dropdown list select the Calendar Service required. Then select the appropriate mailbox using the second dropdown list.
Check-In & Check-Out
For each Zoom Room that will be connected with ResourceXpress, the Room Check-In and Check-Out is a required setting to allow RX and Zoom to communicate with each other correctly.
Navigate to https://zoom.us/location.
Select Edit for the Zoom Room you want to connect with RX.
Then navigate to Setup found under the Rooms Profile tab.
Under the header, Setup, click to enable Room Check-in and Check-out.
These settings will need to be configured to match the Check-in and Check-out settings configured in ResourceXpress.
The “Allow participants to check-in ** min before meeting start time” value needs to match the Check-In Starts value set in RX. The default for RX is 15 minutes.
The “Release room after ** min of no check-in or Zoom Room activity“ value needs to match the Check-In Ends value set in RX. The default for RX is 15 minutes.
The “Remove recurring meeting series after instance” setting is optional.
This option is similar to the No Show Policy available in RX. If enabled ResourceXpress, all future bookings of a series will be cancelled after 3 No Shows in a row.
Once configured click Save.
Repeat for each Zoom Room that you are integrating with ResourceXpress.
