These rooms have "neat bars", a Zoom-specific device. You can invite the room to a meeting using its Outlook calendar, and start/run the meeting from the tablet in the room - no additional device required. You can also use the Zoom app on a device like a phone or laptop to simply share in the room without a Zoom meeting, or to share content to a Zoom meeting running in the room. Cameras automatically keep room participants visible during Zoom meetings unless the camera is turned off with the tablet.
