Cisco Devices for Zoom Rooms puts Zoom software on Cisco room hardware

Cisco and Zoom unveiled Cisco Devices for Zoom Rooms at InfoComm 2026, UC Today reported on June 23, 2026. The product runs Zoom's interface, Zoom Rooms workflow and Zoom Rooms licensing on Cisco hardware ranging from the Desk Pro G2 to the Room Kit EQ. Cisco capabilities that come with the devices include its Agentic Director camera intelligence, ThousandEyes network diagnostics on the device, and Workspace Advisor, which creates a digital twin of each room in Cisco's Collaboration Control Hub. A public beta opened in June, with general availability set for September 2026.

This gives organizations that use Zoom a choice of Cisco room hardware without switching meeting platforms. It follows Zoom for Cisco Rooms, launched at ISE 2026, which kept Cisco's software at the center. Now buyers can choose either arrangement.

There are limits to understand before buying. UC Today reports that Cisco's management tools and Zoom's admin tools remain separate, so IT teams still run two admin consoles. Cisco's AI features and Zoom's AI features work side by side but are not deeply integrated, and neither company has committed to a timeline for deeper integration.

If you are evaluating this option, ask who provides first-line support when a room fails, which console handles firmware and software updates, and whether ThousandEyes and Workspace Advisor require additional licensing. Pilot it in one or two rooms and have the people who will support it day to day test the admin workflow before rolling it out further.
