You can start an instant meeting in Zoom without needing to schedule by using your personal room, or by creating an instant meeting with it's own Meeting ID.
UNLV IT recommends using an Instant Meeting over a Personal Room for enhanced security. A Personal Room is like a virtual office; once someone has your personal meeting ID (PMI), they can "enter" at any time.
Starting an Instant Meeting
- Open Zoom on your device
- On the Home page, select New Meeting
This will begin an instant meeting with a unique Meeting ID. You can invite others to the meeting by opening the Participants menu then selecting Copy Invite Link.
Zoom Web Client
- Log in to the web client. You will notice a similar interface to the desktop app. Select New Meeting to begin a meeting instantly
- You can also select the waffle menu beside your icon/initials on the top-right corner and select New Meeting from the list of icons
