In my opinion, it's better to let Zoom generate a new meeting ID for each meeting. So if you're having an entirely different meeting with different people a week later using your personal meeting ID, someone from a previous meeting in that same room could enter unless you have a password protected with a different passcode or have set up a waiting room. The issue with using this is that since the ID never changes anyone with that ID can enter the room at any time. Now your personal meeting ID is the ID associated with your account.

Next is the option to use your personal meeting ID or to generating meeting ID automatically. In this case I'll just uncheck that, and leave this time and date. And that removes to the specific date and time fields, and it displays a reminder to set up the recurrence of the meeting in the calendar invite after it's true generated. If this is going to be a recurring meeting, you can click that option. Next specify the date and time of the meeting. It's a good idea to name it something that tells your participants what it's about. Click the plus button to schedule a new meeting. Alternately, you can go back to the Zoom desktop app, and here go to Meetings at the top. If you're logged into your account at the Zoom website, you can go to Meetings, and here just click Schedule a Meeting.

We touched on scheduling earlier, but let's take a closer look at it now. So we've seen that you can start a meeting at any time, but probably in most cases, you'll want to schedule a meeting so all of your participants will have time to make sure they can attend.
