FAQ

How do I identify inactive Zoom seats?

SeatMap reads Zoom's activity API and groups users by last-action timestamp. 30+ days inactive = ghost.

Can I downgrade my Zoom contract instead?

Yes — our Growth tier includes Feature-Lock analysis that detects when paid seats use zero premium features, flagging exact downgrade savings.
