This is the number that you will provide to other members who have volunteered to host a Zoom meeting when the original host is not there. This Host Key applies to all meetings you have scheduled using your Zoom account. If these settings are incorrect the alternate host will be stuck waiting for the original host to join to start the meeting or in the waiting room waiting for the host to admit them. To get started with a Zap template, just click on it, and we’ll guide you through customizing it—it only takes a couple minutes.

You can read more about setting up Zaps here. Note: To set up integrations between Zoom and Zapier, you need a paid Zoom account.

Free account holders don’t have access to the Zoom API. If you run a lot of meetings—for example, with clients—but don’t have an assistant, you might want to connect your scheduling app, Zoom, and your calendar. Whenever someone books an appointment in a scheduling app, for example, Zapier can automatically create a new Zoom meeting and add it to whatever app you use for your personal calendar. Here are some pre-built Zaps to power this workflow, but you can create a Zap with whatever apps you use.

To make this automation even more powerful, you can add a step that shares the meeting details with your team via a chat app like Slack. We use this automation all the time here at Zapier—any time a new team meeting in Zoom kicks off, the Zoom link gets posted to the appropriate channel in Slack automatically.

For weekly meetings, monthly check-ins, and other regularly-scheduled calls, Zoom lets you create a recurring meeting. There are two benefits to using this setting. First, it lets you lock in all the call settings you want once and have them be in place every time you meet.

Second, recurring calls use the same join URL each time, so you never have to send a fresh one to attendees. Additionally, if you meet with the same group regularly but not on a regular schedule, you can choose an option called No Fixed Time, which lets you use the same settings and meeting ID over and over with the same group, no matter when you get together. This option is popular with educational groups who use Zoom as their virtual classroom. How you do this will depend on which platform you’re using, but you can refer to Zoom’s documentation for setting up your recurring meeting.

Fair warning that for any recurring meeting, you cannot schedule it with your Personal Meeting ID also called PMI in Zoom; it’s a virtual private meeting space for you, and the link never changes.

Also, know that all recurring meeting IDs expire after one year, so you’ll have to generate a new one then. Say you’re using Zoom to hold a mandatory event, like a university lecture or a safety training session. You probably want to know who attends. You can get that information from a report once the meeting is finished.

Look for Usage Reports, and then click Meeting to find the meeting you want, select the report type and date range, and generate the report. Requirements: To generate an attendee list, you need to be the 1 the host of the meeting, 2 in a role with Usage Reports enabled, or 3 an account administrator or owner. In addition to getting an attendance sheet, you can also gather information from meeting attendees about themselves before they join the call. For example, you might want to require that attendees provide their name, company affiliation, or industry.

To collect this information, first you need to require Registration, an option found in the My Meetings tab of the Zoom web app.

Then, you can set up a form that attendees must fill out before they can join the meeting. For the registration form, Zoom provides standard fields, such as name and company affiliation, that you add using checkboxes. To add new questions or fields, jump over to the tab called Custom Questions. If you’re using Zoom to run a digital event like a webinar, however, you might want to let attendees register via a form on your website or an event management app.

Automation is a great way to make sure that everyone who signs up for your webinar is then registered in Zoom. These pre-built Zaps are perfect for getting started:. You can make this automation even more powerful by making sure that any registrant information you collect is also added to your CRM or email marketing tool, so you can follow up more easily.

Requirements: To require attendee information in Zoom, the host must have a Pro account. Additionally, the meeting cannot be your Personal Meeting ID. Zoom lets you record your web conferencing calls as videos, a handy feature for sharing the meeting with people who may have missed it or for reviewing what was said.

When you record, you must choose whether to use the local or cloud option. Local means you store the video file yourself, whether locally on your computer or in another storage space that you provide. Users with Scheduling Privilege on your account will be able to manage and act as an alternative host for all meetings.

Choose files or drag and drop files. Was this article helpful? Your students will be required to input this password before joining your scheduled meeting. Enable Join Before Host: Allow participants to join the meeting without you host or before you host join.

If not selected, a random unique meeting ID will be generated. Enable waiting room: Allows the host to control when participants join the meeting by placing them in a waiting room. Record the meeting automatically: Check this if you want the meeting to be automatically recorded. Select if you want it to be recorded locally to your computer or to the cloud zoom. Alternative Hosts: Enter the email address of another Zoom user with a Pro license on your account to allow them to start the meeting in your absence.
