Both Zoom Rooms and Microsoft Teams Rooms are videoconferencing solutions designed for meeting rooms, and they each have their own unique features and benefits. The choice between the two will largely depend on the specific needs and preferences of the organization. We’ve found that if an enterprise organization has Microsoft Teams as the primary in-house preferred video conferencing platform, then deploy Teams Rooms. If Zoom is primary, deploy Zoom Rooms. Below we dive deeper into the Zoom room and Teams Room comparison for organizations who aren’t sure which solution is the right choice.
Zoom Rooms has a simpler, more intuitive user interface and is generally easier to set up and use. It also has a wider range of hardware compatibility, allowing organizations to use a variety of devices, including Macs, PCs, and mobile devices, to join a meeting. Additionally, Zoom Rooms has a robust virtual background feature, which allows users to customize their backgrounds and can be useful for professional settings.

For All Hands, Boardroom, Training Rooms, where handheld mics and multiple cameras are utilized, Zoom Rooms far exceeds Teams Rooms.
