[https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/guides/zoom-rooms/zoom-rooms-api](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/guides/zoom-rooms/zoom-rooms-api) gives us the ability to restart the Zoom Room application. The Zoom website allows this but also lets us reboot the host computer remotely. Does anyone have a good solution for that (restart the computer) via an API?

Hi @apu,

Thanks for reaching out about this. At the moment, I’m afraid that our Zoom Rooms API endpoints allow you to control the Zoom Room client, but not the physical device itself. You make a great suggestion though, and I can appreciate why it would be helpful to have this same functionality available via the API.

If you’re so inclined, you might consider adding this as a feature request here: #feature-requests

Thanks,  
Will

This command is already available via the Zoom web-admin UI but needs to be exposed to the API. Thank you.
