Meeting Invitation - Obtain the SIP address and the Password of the meeting
Introduction
There are many ways to join a Zoom conference.
This article shows steps to join by manually dialing the SIP address.
|
Note: Whilst this article focuses on dialing a Zoom meeting, the same principles may be used to dial other SIP addresses.
All Deakin video conference rooms are able to dial using SIP address. |
Meeting Invitation
The meeting organizer should send you an invitation to the meeting which includes dialing information for how to join the Zoom conference.
Here is an example Zoom Meeting invitation which includes the SIP address. (The SIP address will be present if the meeting host's organization has purchased the 'Zoom Room Connector')
Take note of the SIP URI, and Password.
Here is an another example Zoom Meeting where the meeting host has not purchased the 'Zoom Room Connector' feature, so the SIP and H.323 addresses are missing from the meeting invitation
The organizer of this meeting will need to arrange purchase of the 'Zoom Room Connector' feature if they want SIP or H.323 video conference rooms to join the conference, and then send you a new invitation with the SIP URI.
They may refer to the Zoom website, or contact their Zoom sales representative for more information on the 'Zoom Room Connector'.

Important Note: DAVE / Crestron 'Zoom Rooms' do not currently support manual point-to-point SIP Dialing
'Zoom Rooms' are different to 'Video Conference Rooms'.
DAVE / Crestron 'Zoom Rooms' do not support direct SIP dialing. (SIP is the standard protocol used for video conference calls.)
Instead, create a Zoom Meeting, and invite the SIP participant to call into the Zoom Meeting.
Deakin Zoom Meetings have SIP support.
To book a Zoom Meeting, refer to
- Zoom Meetings – Video Conference Setup for a Meeting Room Join Button (Windows)
- Zoom Meetings – Video Conference Setup for a Meeting Room Join Button (macOS)
Technical Note: Some limited pseudo point-to-point dialing is available by dialing entries in the Zoom Room Directory, however note that a Zoom Meeting is automatically invoked in the background when these entries are called, so those calls are still technically hosted on the Zoom Meeting platform.
