Launching a Zoom meeting and Inviting Guests

Launching a meeting in Zoom

With the Zoom application open, a meeting host can initiate a meeting in three different ways.

1)  By clicking the Start with video button, the host can initiate a meeting with his/her webcam activated.

2)  By clicking the Start without video button, the host can initiate a meeting in which the webcam is non automatically turned out.

3)  The final way to launch a meeting is to Click the Meetings tab and then to click Start under the Personal Meeting ID area.  This would allow a host to launch a meeting in a space where the meeting credentials are always the same.

Inviting Guests

To invite guests to a meeting that is already in progress, the host should click the Invite button and then either select a mail service to open with pre-defined invitation text or select the Invite by Contacts tab to invite Contacts from within the UHD Zoom community.

Additionally, the host can copy the direct URL to the meeting or the full invitation text and share it in any way desired.
