If you give let students or others use your Personal Meeting ID number with which to repeatedly connect with you repeatedly, it is very important to assign a passcode. Below are instructions for the Zoom app, and for the web version.

...

  1. Launch the app and choose “Sign in with SSO”.

  2. In the resulting window, make sure it says “uga” and “.zoom.us” and click “Continue” then log in with your MyID credentials.

  3. If prompted to launch Zoom, even though you already did, then do so.

  4. In the app window, at the top menu, click “Meetings”.

  5. At left, click the tab for “Upcoming” to get the option for “My Personal Meeting ID (PMI)” and click there.

  6. At right, click the button for “Edit”.

  7. In the field for “Password”, type the password you want people to use to enter your Personal Meeting ID or “Zoom room”.

  8. Click “Save”.

  9. IMPORTANT:
    When giving people the password, do not include it in the same message with your Meeting ID number. Zoom might lump them together as a long string of characters to form a web link. If Zoom provides a link, examine it. If it includes the characters “pwd=” then the password is the part after that. Remove everything after “pwd=” from the rest of the link and only send the password separately. NEVER post the whole string on a public site.
