If you have a meeting of only U of I System guests, please consider clicking the drop down and selecting Sign in with Illinois NetID and password. This is controlled by the meeting setting called Require authentication to join.

By default UIUC Zoom meetings will be set to force guests to sign into any Zoom account.

More information about using the waiting room can be found at: Zoom Support, Waiting Room. You can set it to allow participants to bypass the waiting room if they are in the UIUC account, or within the UIUC Zoom account and domains you have safelisted on your settings page at /profile/setting. By default the waiting room is set to force all guests entering your meeting to stop in the waiting room.

Use the waiting room for increased security or if you would like to have more control over participant entrance.

Your personal meeting id should be reserved for meetings with regular, known participants, such as small department or research meetings with colleagues. It is strongly recommended to generate a meeting ID automatically instead of using your personal meeting ID.Be aware that if you schedule a single meeting and start it even momentarily, more than 30 days before the scheduled meeting time, the meeting ID will have expired when you attempt to meet on the scheduled date.

For single meetings, the meeting ID (link) will expire 30 days after the meeting has begun. Recurring meeting ID's will continue to work for up to 365 days after the first meeting occurrences is started.

Use a recurring meeting if you need multiple meeting instances with the same join link (meeting ID) and password by default.

Recurring meetings will have the same password for the entire series by default.

Passwords are required by default and cannot, for any reason, be disabled or removed from a meeting or webinar created in the UIUC Zoom account.

Be aware that your meeting Topic will automatically be applied to the waiting room pop up when a participant joins a meeting.

Use a clear and concise Topic and Description so your participants can easily confirm they are in the right place.

Click the Meetings tab in the upper left corner.

Navigate to and sign in following the instructions here: Zoom, Logging in.
