We suggest scheduling meetings via the web site. You can find all your meetings meeting information, and schedule new ones, by clicking "My Meetings" on the menu on the left.

...

The start time of a Zoom meeting is semi arbitrary.
Meetings scheduled for a single date can be started at any time , until on that date, and the meeting invitation is good for 30 days past the time specified in the meeting settings. And, recurring meetings don't expire until date of 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 meeting meetings, or to have follow ups, without having to actually change anything in Zoom.

...

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