LONDON, Oct. 8, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- BT today
announced it is expanding its multinational customers' choice of
cloud-based audio and video collaboration managed services with the
addition of Zoom Meetings to its portfolio. It follows the signing
of a new carrier agreement between BT and Zoom Video

The agreement also enables BT to offer Zoom Rooms, Zoom's
extendable software-based conference room system.
Ryan Azus, chief revenue officer,
Zoom, said: "We chose BT as a global managed service partner
because it's a trusted and established leader in the world market
with in-depth enterprise voice, video, security, cloud and
networking expertise. Our new agreement will help large enterprises

Rooms offer. This partnership will also expand Zoom's global
