Path in the GPO console
User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Zoom Meetings\Zoom Meetings - Default Settings (users can override)\Zoom Meetings Default Settings Description
Default policy is empty. If this policy is a valid IP address, this policy will allow admins to specify a valid IP address to be a UDP multicast IP for Zoom apps to declare themselves and detect each other in their local sub-network (255.255.255.0). Admins can choose other IP addresses within the range of [224.0.0.1, 239.255.255.255]. If this policy is empty or invalid, this policy will set as 224.0.0.1 by default. If this policy is not set, client will use the default setting.
