Generate a random meeting ID
- Open your Zoom client and log in. Select the “Schedule” icon. Provide a name for your meeting. Provide a start date and time. Pro Accounts are required for sessions longer than 40 minutes with 3+ users. Once you have provided a start date and time, select which Meeting ID you want to use. Use the “generate automatically” option to provide a random ID number/location. You can also choose to use a password, to even further shore up your meeting. Under the Video options, select: Host: On (to allow the use of video by the host) Participants: Off (to block the use of video by the participants, if you wish) Finally, select the calendar option you want to use. This produces a meeting invite in this specific calendar. Click Save and your meeting will be all set.
