Set up your Zoom account

Once you have your account, it's time to customize it.

Click on "My Account" in the top right corner, and set up your profile. 

If people are joining your Zoom room from a computer, they will need a URL. If they are joining from the Android or iOS app, they will need your 10-digit "personal meeting ID" or your "personal link" name. Both of these can be customized.

Personal meeting ID. While Zoom gives you a 10-digit number by default, you can customize this to, say, your office phone number. Click "Edit" to change it. 

Personal link. Click "Customize" to add, say, your name to create an easier-to-remember Zoom URL. 

Provide your students with both the URL (for computer users) and "Meeting ID" or "Personal Link" (for mobile app users).

Your Zoom room

Since you own the room, no one can enter it unless you are there. Anyone who tries to get in when you are not there will get this message: "Waiting for the host to start this meeting."
