Choosing settings for your meeting
Meeting ID
It is best to let Zoom generate the meeting ID automatically. Your聽personal meeting ID never聽changes, so聽if you use this to schedule meetings, anyone with your聽ID number would be able to join any future meetings you set up.聽Note that recurring meetings will have the same meeting ID.
Password
This requires attendees to have a meeting password as well as the meeting ID in order to join your meeting.
Video
Choose whether to have video on or off when joining the meeting for host and participants. Once in the meeting, participants can choose whether to turn their video on or off.
Audio
Choose whether participants can join by telephone or via their computer or either. Note that if participants join via telephone the meeting will not be end to end encrypted.
Calendar

Advanced settings
In here you can also mute participants on entry which may be useful for larger meetings. Participants can then unmute themselves if they wish to speak.
Once you have set up your meeting as required, click on schedule to schedule your meeting.
Inviting attendees
When you fill in your meeting details you have the option of selecting a calendar type, this opens up a calendar invitation in your selected calendar once you have clicked to schedule the meeting. The invitation will be pre-populated with the meeting information and you can then invite the required attendees to the meeting.聽
Alternatively, if you just wish to send an email with the meeting information to the attendees, you can select other calendars and copy the invitation. This can then be sent in an email or chat message.
Ending your meeting
When you are ready to end your meeting, you can leave the meeting and let others continue, or close the meeting for all participants.
