Scheduling Zoom Meetings

To schedule a Zoom Meeting, login to Zoom, and select the + Schedule a Meeting button. 

Zoom allows you to schedule individual meetings and recurring meetings. Please review the following meeting setup recommendations. 

Once you have setup your meeting with your desired settings, click the blue Save button. 

Meeting Setup Recommendations

Meeting Topic

Provide a title for this session that will help your attendees distinguish between meetings. 

For example: Class101_TR_930_Lastname

Set the date and time for your session—be aware that by default, sessions are added in Eastern Time (ET).

Check the Recurring Meeting if you are scheduling an event that repeats (e.g. scheduling all of your class meetings at once). You can schedule meetings to recur daily, weekly, biweekly, or monthly.

Sessions can enable multiple forms of security to control who can access a Zoom meeting.

  • The Passcode option allows you to create a numeric / word code for users to enter before they are admitted to a meeting. Your Zoom URL will automatically include the passcode. 
  • The Waiting Room option creates a holding area for users to join the session and wait for the host to admit them to the meeting. The host does need to admit users if using this setting. Waiting rooms can be useful for open office hours to allow students to wait in a queue while the instructor meets privately with one student at a time.
  • Leave the Require authentication to join option unchecked. If checked, this option prevents participants from joining the Zoom meeting session unless they are logged into Zoom. This can be problematic when you need external guests to join. 

Review Zoom’s Extensive Schedule Meetings Help Guide to learn more about each specific meeting option setting.
