Frequently Asked Questions

Zoom Rooms for Community Use: Shared Spaces Pilot

Are there Zoom Rooms available for use on campus?

During the Zoom Rooms for Community Use pilot, MIT community members may use the MIT Atlas mobile app or https://spaces.mit.edu to reserve and use one of several shared Zoom Rooms distributed across campus.

Which rooms are available?

Visit the Spaces feature in the MIT Atlas mobile app to view available rooms. Tap on New Reservation and select a date to view which rooms have availability on that day.

Who may reserve a Zoom Room for Community Use?

Any community member with an active MIT Kerberos account, including students, faculty, staff, and affiliates, may use the MIT Atlas mobile app to reserve a space.

Who manages room availability?

Designated administrators within each room's department manage the overall availability of rooms.

As community members or department administrators reserve meeting times, those times are removed from the room's availability within the Spaces feature in the MIT Atlas mobile app, thus avoiding schedule conflicts.

How does a room's administrator manage room availability?

Designated administrators use the Spaces Administration application to set a room's availability schedule, and to update room details. Day-to-day management of room usage is done through the room's Outlook calendar.
