To do so please follow these steps:
- Log In.Click 'Schedule a New Meeting'.
- Click 'Schedule a New Meeting'.
- Do not select 'Recurring meeting', even if your meeting is part of a series.
- Click 'Save'. The page will reload, and the ID should be listed to the right of "Meeting ID".
If your meeting is part of a series, then you'll need to schedule a new meeting for each session. You cannot change an existing meeting's ID.
If you decide to select a 'Recurring meeting', a recurring meeting will only expire 365 days after the last time it was used.
This means you have a great deal of flexibility to reschedule your meetings, or to have follow ups, without having to actually change anything in Zoom.
Suggested Settings
To maintain the integrity of your Zoom meeting or webinar, you may take advantage of several features offered in Zoom at UT.
We recommend using the following settings when you schedule a meeting
Options below reduce the likelihood of unwelcome or disruptive participants joining your event.
Setting | Suggested | Note | ||
---|---|---|---|---|
Registration | Checked |
| ||
Meeting ID | Generate Automatically | Generating your meeting ID automatically allows for each meeting you create to be unique, and only the people with that meeting information can join that meeting. | ||
Meeting Password | Checked | With this box checked the invited participants will need to do more steps to join your meeting. When creating meeting passwords, keep in mind that some videoconferencing equipment can only enter numbers. | ||
Video | "Off" for both Host and Participant | You can configure your meeting room so that every participant's video feed is disabled when first joining. | ||
Audio | Both | Enabling telephone for audio provides a way for participants who lack internet, or have poor internet, to dial in with a regular phone.
| ||
Meeting Options | Check "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. | ||
Mute participants upon entry | You can configure your meeting room so that every participant's audio feed is disabled when first joining. | |||
Enable waiting room | If you enable the waiting room, participants won't be able to join the meeting until you admit them individually. This option works best for meetings with fewer numbers of attendees. | |||
Only authenticated users can join: Sign in to Zoom | While this setting does not discriminate between institutions providing Zoom accounts (that is, it cannot restrict the meeting to accounts provided by UT), this is an additional precaution you can take to restrict access to your meeting. | |||
Record the meeting Automatically | For Basic Users the only available "Record" option is "on the local computer". For Licensed Users the "Record" option will also allow you to record your meeting "in the cloud". |
