To do so please follow these steps:

  1. Log In.Click 'Schedule a New Meeting'.
  2. Click 'Schedule a New Meeting'.
  3. Do not select 'Recurring meeting', even if your meeting is part of a series.
  4. 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.

SettingSuggestedNote
RegistrationChecked
  • You can configure your meeting so individuals can't attend unless they have registered.
  • Participants register for meetings through a custom URL that Zoom generates for you.
  • To register, participants must provide their first name, last name, and email address.
  • Participants won't be able to join unless their name and email address matches the information they initially provided when registering.
Meeting IDGenerate AutomaticallyGenerating 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 PasswordChecked

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.
If some participants might connect from videoconferencing hardware instead of a computer or mobile device, set a numerical password to ensure that they can connect without issue.

Video"Off" for both Host and ParticipantYou can configure your meeting room so that every participant's video feed is disabled when first joining. 
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 Licensed 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.



Mute participants upon entryYou can configure your meeting room so that every participant's audio feed is disabled when first joining. 

Enable waiting roomIf 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 ZoomWhile 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".
