CHAPTER 2

Hosting a Meeting

You can host your own Zoom meetings and invite other people to attend. You can create instant meetings that start right away, or you can schedule a future meeting. As host, you can also allow participants into the meeting, rename attendees, enable participants to share a screen or record the meeting, remove participants, and more.

Start an Instant Meeting

If you have a Zoom account, you can host a meeting immediately by starting an instant meeting. An instant meeting is a meeting that begins right away and to which you invite users after the meeting has begun, as described in the section “Invite People to a Meeting” later in this chapter. You can start an instant meeting either using the Zoom desktop app or using the Zoom mobile app.

You can also start an instant meeting from a Zoom chat conversation. For the details, see Chapter 11.
