With Zoom, you can immediately start a meeting without having to schedule it in advance, and then invite others to join.

How to Host an Ad-hoc Meeting

1. Start by opening your Zoom desktop app and clicking the Home button.
2. Press the New Meeting button.
3. You may also click on “Host A Meeting” at zoom.us.

A meeting will start using your default settings, and either your Personal Meeting ID, or a new unique meeting ID. 

How to Invite Others

1. Once in the meeting, click the ^ to the right of the Participants button on the bottom of the screen to invite additional participants.
2. For users with a Fuller Faculty & Staff Zoom account, you may invite them directly from here. You will see a small icon letting you know if they are active (green) or signed in to their mobile device (rectangle).
3. Otherwise, you may copy the Invite Link or Invitation and send it to participants.

How to Start a Meeting Directly with a Contact
