To begin, go to zoom.us in your browser and log in to your account. Click My Account. Then click Schedule a Meeting. Now you can add in some details for your meeting. Add a topic so your invitees will know what the meeting is about, then add in a date and time for the meeting to start and end. You can automatically generate a unique meeting ID for this call, or use your personal meeting room ID.

If you plan to have a meeting with the same people at the same time on a regular basis, click the Recurring Meeting check box. Then choose the recurrence, how often to repeat it, and an end date or number of times you want this meeting to occur.

If you want to keep your meeting more secure, you can password protect the meeting room by checking off the “Require Meeting Password” box. Then, type in what you’d like the password to be. Then you can choose if you’d like the host and/or participants to have their video on, audio dial-in options, as well as which calendar you want to add this event to. If you click Advanced Options, you can also allow participants to join before the host, mute participants when they first enter the call, and record your meeting automatically on your computer. When you’re done filling in these details, click Save.

Now you can add this meeting to your Google, Outlook, or Yahoo calendar and invite your colleagues from there, or click Copy the Invitation and send the invite through email, or your company’s instant messaging system.

Once you’ve scheduled a meeting, it will appear in your schedule under the “My Meetings” tab, as well as on the Meetings page of the Zoom desktop app.
