Scheduling recurring meetings : Zoom

Scheduling a recurring meeting in Zoom is a fantastic way to stay organized and keep your team or group in sync. Whether you’re planning weekly team check-ins, monthly project updates, or daily stand-ups, Zoom’s recurring meeting feature can simplify your calendar and ensure everyone knows when to connect. Here’s a step-by-step guide to get you started:

Step 1: Sign In and Access Scheduling
First, sign into your Zoom web portal. Once you’re in, navigate to the ‘Meetings’ section where you’ll find the option to schedule a new meeting.

Step 2: Meeting Details
Fill in the meeting details, including the topic, description, and the time and date of the first meeting. Make sure to provide a clear and concise topic and description so participants know what to expect.

Step 3: Select Recurring Meeting
Look for the checkbox labeled ‘Recurring meeting’ and select it. This will unlock additional settings specific to recurring meetings.

Step 4: Recurrence Options
You’ll now be able to set the frequency of your meeting—daily, weekly, monthly, etc. You can also choose which days of the week the meeting should recur on, the duration of each session, and an end date or number of occurrences.

Step 5: Meeting ID and Security
Decide whether you want a unique meeting ID generated for each session or if you prefer to use your Personal Meeting ID. Remember, for added security, it’s often best to have a unique ID for each meeting. Set a meeting password for an extra layer of protection.

Step 6: Calendar Integration
After setting up the recurrence details, choose a calendar system to add the meeting to—Google Calendar, Outlook, etc. This will help you and your invitees keep track of the meeting schedule.

Step 7: Additional Settings
Before finalizing, review the additional settings such as enabling a waiting room, choosing video options for host and participants, and deciding on audio options.

Step 8: Save and Share
Click ‘Save’ to schedule your recurring meeting. You’ll then be able to share the meeting details with participants via email or a calendar invite.

Step 9: Managing Recurring Meetings
Once your recurring meeting is scheduled, you can manage it from the ‘Meetings’ tab. Here you can start meetings, edit details, or delete a meeting if plans change.

Step 10: Enjoy Seamless Scheduling
With your recurring meeting set, you can enjoy the ease of having pre-scheduled sessions without the need to set up a new meeting each time.

Remember, Zoom’s support center offers comprehensive guides and videos if you need further assistance. Scheduling recurring meetings can streamline your workflow and ensure that your team stays connected and informed.
