- There are many more settings available at duke.zoom.us, than there are when using the client.
- You can change your personal room's access number, a lot of people use their office phone number for this as it may be easier to remember.
- The Outlook addin adds a button to your new meeting view that will add the details of your personal room to a meeting, removing the need to open the Zoom client first.
