Zoom Rooms is a system BU uses for Digital Signage content on various TV screens around campus. It can be used to display content such as images, videos, URL, and more.
The displays can change content on a schedule, or simply cycle through an existing set of content. You can display what you want where you want it. You decide.
- Schedules of the rooms the area
- Upcoming events
- Live video of events going on
- External website content
It's all managed online through a web browser so you don't need to physically stop by the television to change a usb stick of slides. Just upload the changes and it will start to show up.
BU only uses it for Digital Signage so far, but there are other "paid" features can allow you to stream content to a projector, tv, or screen during a meeting.
here's their Zoom Rooms User Guide
Zoom Room Access
- Approval to add any content to screens in your Building or area needs approval of both IT and Communications.
Start the process by creating a ticket with the Helpdesk - Some existing screen locations don't support adding new content manager access without a hardware equipment replacement.
New Equipment or replacement installs
- Any Departments wanting new TV/screens locations for Zoom Rooms, or replacement to their existing equipment will be responsible for the costs for that equipment. Estmate is anywhere from $200 to $500 or more per brand new screen location. It depends on the size of screen and equipment ordered.
