This minHour will teach you how to send a Zoom invitation to a scheduled meeting or an on-going meeting if you're using the desktop client or the mobile app.
Sending an Invite to a Meeting in the Desktop Client
Open Zoom and join a meeting.
This application icon looks like a video camera inside a blue circle that you can find in your Start menu or in the Applications folder in Finder.
Click Participants.
It’s with an icon that looks like two people centered at the bottom of your screen.
Click Invite.
This icon is located in the bottom right corner of your screen.
Choose Email or Copy Invitation.
The option for “Copy invitation” will copy the entire meeting’s detailed information and invitation whereas “Copy Invite Link” will only copy the URL for the meeting.
- If you choose “Email,” you’ll next have to choose which email service you’d like to use (the default email you have set up, Gmail, or Yahoo). When you choose an email service, you’ll be prompted to log in, then an auto-generated email (containing the Zoom meeting’s invitation) will open for you to add recipients to in order to share the meeting link.
Share your copied invite.
You can paste that invite in an email or in a Facebook Message with your friends so they can join the meeting.
Sending an Invite to an On-Going Meeting in the Mobile App
Open Zoom and join or host a meeting.
This application icon looks like a video camera inside a blue circle that you can find on one of your Home screens, in the app drawer, or by searching.
