Zoom introduces workspace reservations

One of the most significant changes brought about by the two-year conflict with Covid-19 is the mindset shift among employees and businesses worldwide, as people are forced to work remotely. As a result of this perspective shift, we are also changing the way we think about the workplace in general and developing our own unique work ethos.

According to a recent survey by Zoom and Momentive, just over 55% of remote workers prefer a hybrid environment that allows them to work from the office and home. However, more than half of them (53%) prefer meeting clients in person, and about 58% think participating in team activities is essential.

Organizations need to outfit their offices and workspaces with adaptable solutions that guarantee the success of hybrid teams, promote employee interaction, and shorten the gap between the office and the remote workspace.

Using Zoom to make a workspace reservation

To achieve this, Zoom is introducing a new feature called Workspace Reservation that enables teams to reserve office workspaces in advance, learn about who else is scheduled to arrive for work, receive seating recommendations, etc. According to a statement from Zoom, some of its test users have even reserved parking spaces using the new tool.

There are numerous options

The flexible hot-desking choices offered by the workspace reservation feature that Zoom hopes to make accessible by the end of July allow one to reserve space for a specified time and length, which may be a whole day or simply a few short hours.

Users can also make reservations for spaces right away via a mobile app, a kiosk at the front desk, the scheduling panel outside a Zoom Room, or even right there at the workspace. According to Zoom, its straightforward user interfaces enable business teams to book in-office workspaces using a familiar platform and interface.

To provide users with a seamless experience, system administrators would also be able to upload personalized office maps and seating arrangements straight from the admin interface. Additionally, they can quickly reserve a spot by adding printable QR codes to workstations. Furthermore, system administrators can plan and construct a more efficient and effective use of the current workspaces that utilizes data gathered depending on user activity.

You can use a desktop program or a web browser to access Zoom's new features. Users can reserve a variety of alternatives through the Workspace Reservation, including Zoom Rooms, Zoom Phone Appliances, Work desks, private conference rooms, screening rooms, and other configurable spaces.
