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.
