Scheduling a meeting through the Zoom website

Setting up a meeting on Zoom.us website (Not the Windows App): 

• First sign in to Zoom through their website https://zoom.us/
  • Click "Sign In" in upper right corner
  • Use "Sign in with Google" option

• After sign in look for the "Meetings" tab in the left bar. 
•  Select "Schedule a new meeting."
  • Insert Topic
  • Fill out description 
  • select date & time
  • select length of meeting
  • Generate meeting ID automatically
  • Meeting password is required (for security purposes DO NOT change this)
  • select whether host and participant video is on or off
    • Note: as host you can always turn on your video and allow others to turn on their video during the meeting at a later point
  • Meeting Options:
    • For maximum security DO NOT enable join before host
      • This will show participants a "host has not started meeting" pop-up if they sign in before the start of the meeting
    • Mute Participants on Entry 
      • This does as described and will not allow users to talk until the host has un-muted them in the "Manage Participants" bar.
    • Enable waiting room
      • As host you will need to allow them in by starting the meeting and checking your "Manage Participants" bar.
    • Only Authenticated users can join.
      • Do not disable this setting, it brings up an additional option of "Add watermark that identifies the viewing participant" so that their name cannot be changed from their email settings.
•  Click "Save" at the bottom once done.

You can add the event to your calendar from here & invite participants from either the invitation or by adding them to the calendar event.
