bit.ly<\/a> for the stream. You can distribute the bit.ly before hand without actually creating it. Once you start streaming, you can then create your bit.ly from the stream address. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThis will allow you to get the YouTube address out ahead of time, which is better for people intending to view via YouTube.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
17- Scheduling a Meetup in Zoom<\/h2>\n\n\n\n Scheduling a Meetup is the best idea when planning a meetup ahead of time, as it allows you to distribute the Meeting ID to your attendees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can do this from various places, from the your profile on the zoom.us website;<\/p>\n\n\n\nSchedule a Meeting Link<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nOr you can use the PC app;<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Schedule a Meeting from the App<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nOr the Mobile App;<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Schedule a Meeting from the Mobile App<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nFocusing on the Website version, you will be shown the Schedule a Meeting page;<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Schedule a Meeting Page<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nFrom here you can set a Name for your Meetup using the Topic text box, and give it a description of some sort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Go ahead and set a date, time and length for your meeting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As of April 5th, Zoom should default to a new Meeting ID rather than your Personal Meeting ID…<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nThe next part to set is the Meeting ID and Password. Here I’d recommend that you generate a new ID, rather than using your Personal Meeting ID. This way, if for some reason you have an issue with your ID, you know that next time you’ll have a new ID again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As mentioned earlier, the primary setting to secure your meeting is the password, make sure you check the “Require meeting password<\/em><\/strong>” checkbox.<\/p>\n\n\n\nMeeting ID and Password<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nFinally, in the Meeting Options settings area, Disable the “Enable join before host<\/em><\/strong>” checkbox, enable the “Mute participants upon entry<\/em><\/strong>” checkbox and Enable the “Enable waiting room<\/em><\/strong>” checkbox.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/figure>\n\n\n\nOnce you’ve completed that, you can press the blue “Save<\/em><\/strong>” button to finish scheduling your Meeting!<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen it comes to start your meeting, you can simply open the app, go to the “Meetings<\/em><\/strong>” tab, select your meeting and hit the blue “Start<\/em><\/strong>” button.<\/p>\n\n\n\nStart Scheduled Meeting<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nYou’ll definitely want to let your attendees know about how to join your upcoming meeting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can do this through whichever platform you usually use. Obviously, if you’re using something like Meetup or EventBrite, then you can include a link to the zoom meeting there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can find the link to your zoom meeting within the scheduled meeting you created above, once it’s saved, however, the link will include a password;<\/p>\n\n\n\n
