Yea I saw the zoom connector too. My initial preference is to deploy the Webex devices since most of our employees use Webex meetings, but come up with a standard plan that allows them to join Zoom, GoToMeeting and other 3rd party meetings in a user friendly way that is similar to joining Webex meetings.
The announcement of partnership between Cisco and Microsoft is encouraging and fact there is already a connector between Zoom for Cisco is good too. I’ll pilot it out with the Webex cloud registered roomkit and see how much I can get from that experience. > On Nov 13, 2019, at 10:44 PM, James Andrewartha <[email protected]> > wrote: > > Zoom do sell a connector for Cisco room systems, but I don't know how > well it works for joining third-party zoom meetings.
