Video Tutorial: How to use Zero Touch Enrollment to enroll devices with AirDroid Business

Zero Touch, also known as Zero Touch Enrollment (ZTE) or Zero Touch Provisioning (ZTP), is a form of enrollment provided in Google Android Enterprise.

Zero-touch enrollment is a streamlined process for Android devices to be provisioned for enterprise management. It allows IT to deploy any number of company-owned devices in bulk without manual setup, so employees can open the box and get started. All the configurations and apps will be automatically pushed to them. Additionally, devices using Zero-Touch remain under control even after a factory reset, significantly enhancing device management security.

In this article, we will guide you on how to use Zero-Touch to enroll your devices with AirDroid Business.

1Before you start

Before you start using Zero Touch, you need to meet the following conditions:

1. A device running Android Pie (9.0) or later.

2. An enterprise mobility management (EMM) provider supporting fully managed devices.

3. Contact your Device Reseller to get a Zero Touch Portal account.
*Initially via selected reseller only.

Note : Device Resellers are partners officially certified by Google and are authorized to manufacture hardware devices that are compatible with Zero Touch. Users can directly purchase these Zero Touch-enabled devices from these resellers.
