Frequently Asked Question

Scheduling a zoom meeting is best performed in the zoom client.

Step 1:  Launch Zoom Client

Step 2: Select Schedule

Step 3:  Title your meeting

Step 4: Date and Time, for an individual meeting enter the date, start time, and end time of the meeting.  For a Recurring meeting check the recurring box you will not be entering a date and time.

Step 5:  Meeting ID, It is recommended you always use your Personal Meeting ID, that way it will not accidentally change.

Step 6:  Set Your Password.  Note:  Your password is a setting with zoom that you should never change.  If you schedule another meeting and change the password, it changes the password for your already scheduled meetings to that new password without notifying the participants, effectively locking them out.  Think up a meeting password, set it, and NEVER change it.

Step 7:  Set your Host and Participant Video to "On"

Step 8:  Set your Audio to Computer Audio only.  Zoom does not consistently hand out phone numbers so our standard is to always use computer audio.

Step 9: Calendar, the school standard is to use Outlook, however, you will probably be pasting the meeting information into an ASAP email to your class.

Step 12:  Click the blue "Schedule" button.

Step 13:  An appointment will be generated, this is where you can schedule the recurrence. This is also the meeting information you need to paste into your message to the class.
