Morphology
The meaning 'a space for holding meetings' is directly and predictably derived from combining 'conference' (a planned meeting) with 'room' (a space). The noun-noun composition follows a common, cross-linguistic pattern and even the extension to a virtual space is a clear metaphorical extension of 'room', so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily understand it.
Etymology
Conference room in online apps comes from the same image of a conference held in a room, but on a screen: it is a virtual space where people join to talk by video or chat, so it means 'an online space for meetings'.
