About The Meeting Time

The start time of a Zoom meeting is semi arbitrary. Meetings scheduled for a single date can be started at any time, until 30 days past the time specified in the meeting settings. And, recurring meetings don't expire until 365 days after the last time it was used.

This means you have a great deal of flexibility to reschedule your meeting or have follow ups without having to actually change anything in Zoom.

Suggested Settings

We suggest the following settings for your meeting, but you are free to set it up however you wish.

Suggested Meeting Settings


SettingSuggestedNote
Video"On" for both Host and ParticipantThis just enables the use of video for the meeting. Attendees can still elect to mute their video.
AudioBoth

Enabling telephone for audio provides a way for participants who lack internet, or have poor internet, to dial in with a regular phone.

Note

Providing dial in with toll-free numbers requires the meeting be hosted by a Pro User.

Meeting OptionsCheck "Enable join before host"This will allow your participants to join the meeting before you do. Otherwise, they will get a message that the meeting has not begun.



Inviting Participants

After saving the new scheduled meeting, the window will refresh and will then present you with your "Meeting ID" and the "Join URL". 

...

To craft a better invitation, click the "Copy the Invitation" button to the side of the Join URL. Copy the text in the window that appears and send that in an email to your invitees.
