Scheduling Online Meetings 

Zoom offers many ways to schedule a meet. Meetings should be scheduled no later than one year in advance of the meet go steady .
A non-recurring meeting ID expires 30 days after the date the meet is scheduled for. Recurring meeting IDs exhale 365 days after the touch ‘s last occurrence.

Inviting Others to Join Your Scheduled Meeting

Responses to a merging invitation appear in Google Calendar in the like means as responses to other Calendar events.

Meeting links sent in e-mail, text, or early formats do not have an RSVP feature and if you as the host would like responses, you need to ask your attendees to let you know they will be attending the meet .

Inviting People to a Meeting in Progress

During a meeting, you may decide that you want to invite extra people. You may decide to start a spontaneous meet that was not on your calendar. This is what clamant, or unscheduled, meetings are for .

1. On your host toolbar, click Participants.
   
2. Select Invite.
   
3. A new window open with options for inviting others to join your meeting:

Inviting by Email

This check gives you the following options :

• Default Email – choose this to draft an invitation in your computer’s default email application, such as Outlook, Apple Mail, or Thunderbird
• Gmail – recommended for most users – choose this to draft an invitation in Gmail in your default web browser – this feature works best if you are already signed into your UMN email account in your browser.  Otherwise, follow the prompts to first sign into your UMN Gmail account, and then the email draft will open for you.
• Yahoo – we do not use Yahoo at UMN, so you can ignore this option
  

Copying a URL or Invitation

Use these options if you wish to draft your own electronic mail manually or invite person through a chat node, text message, etc. Copy URL will copy the union yoke and Copy Invitation will copy the full invitation text. You can then paste it using ctrl-V on a personal computer, cmd-V on a Mac, or by right-clicking and choosing Paste.

Inviting by Phone

This option is expensive for the University and poses a security risk in the event of a misdial or improper number. We recommend this option merely as a last fall back. This have dials a number you enter to invite them to join the touch via telephone. When the recipient role answers the call, they will be prompted to press 1 to join the touch. Read Using Telephone Call-Out in the Zoom Help Center for more information.
