What's the difference between my Zoom room/office and a Zoom meeting?

In your Zoom profile Links to an external site., you have a personal meeting ID and a personal link. Both of these go to the exact same “Zoom room.” Think of it as your “Zoom office.” 

 

 

Rather than meet in your office, you can meet somewhere else. Think of it as a Zoom conference room. When you go to Meetings and create a new meeting, Zoom generates a Zoom conference room for you with a brand new url. Just like on campus, you’ll only stay in that room as long as your meeting takes place. After that, the room disappears. (Okay, that’s different than our on-campus conference rooms.)

 

 

For office hours and class sessions, we recommend meeting in your Zoom office. The url stays the same, so students will have an easier time keeping track of it.
