Invite People to a Meeting

After you start an instant meeting, as described in the previous two sections, you can invite one or more users to attend. By default, an instant meeting starts with just you as the meeting host. Your next step is to invite people to participate in your meeting. Zoom gives you three ways to invite users: by email, by contact name (see Chapter 10), or by copying the meeting link or the meeting invitation and pasting the information into an email or text message. In the Zoom mobile app, you can also invite people via text message.
