1. Start a Meeting

Open the Zoom desktop client and log in via SSO. Then click on "New meeting". Then click on "Join the audio by computer" to enter the meeting room.

2. Start a Meeting with the Personal ID

Note: Your personal meeting room is a meeting room permanently reserved for you, comparable to an office. The personal meeting room has a fixed meeting ID and can always be reached via the same link, so you should not pass on this information at will. Only use the room for meetings with people you meet regularly.

Open the Zoom desktop client and log in. To start a meeting with the personal meeting ID, click on the small arrow next to the "New Meeting" button. Check the box "Use my Personal Meeting ID (PMI)" (- make sure at your next meeting that the box is unchecked again). Move your mouse over your ID in the area below. You now have the following options:

• Copy ID
• Copy Invitation
• PMI Settings

 Make the following settings:

• Password: tick
• Video:
  • Host: on
  • Participants: depending on size and type of event
• Audio: Telephone and Computer Audio
• Audio Dial In: Dial in from Germany (If "Dial in from United States" is displayed here, click "Edit". Tick "Germany" and untick "United States" and confirm with "Done".)
• Advanced options:
  • Waiting Room: Enable the waiting room for smaller meetings. You must manually allow every participant to join the meeting. This allows you to prevent unwanted people from joining the meeting.
  • Attend before host: Enable this feature for large meetings. Participants can enter the meeting before you are present. If the waiting room is activated, the function is disabled automatically.
  • Mute participants at entry: Activate this function for large events. Participants are muted when joining the meeting, but can activate their microphones.
  • Authorized participants only: Participants must be logged in to Zoom to join your meeting.
  • Record the meeting automatically: Deactivate this function. If you want to record meetings, you should start the recording manually and follow our instructions.
  • Alternative moderators: If you specify a co-moderator, you do not need to attend your meeting yourself. The co-moderator can represent you and has the same rights as you.

Now click on "New meeting". Then click on "Join the audio by computer" to enter the meeting room.

3. Send Invitation

You can view the (personal) meeting ID and the meeting password by clicking on the info icon in the upper left corner of the meeting room. You can copy this information and email it to the participants to invite them.
