Find and Configure your Zoom Meeting Room:

Zoom gives you various options for configuring meetings. You can setup recurring meetings, webinars, etc. For this example, we will be configuring your Personal Meeting Room, which is a virtual meeting room that is permanently reserved for you and the Zoom Meeting ID and link always stay the same. 

*It is very important that you use your Personal Meeting Room details for your office hour location. Since the Meeting ID and link remain the same, you will not have to constantly update this office hour location with new Zoom details. 

1. Go to: .
2. Select Sign in.

 

3. Log in using your ÀÏ°ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±¼Ç¼×ÊÁÏ single-sign on (SSO) account information. Your username is your ÀÏ°ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±¼Ç¼×ÊÁÏID@csuohio.edu (example 1234567@csuohio.edu). 

 

4. Select Meetings in the left-side menu.
5. Select Personal Room. The information on this screen shows your Personal Zoom Room Meeting ID and Invite Link.

 

6. Select Edit at the bottom of your Personal Room details. Here you are able to adjust settings for your Personal Zoom Room - such as adding a required Passcode to join, enabling a Waiting Room, requiring authentication to join, and options to require Video and Audio when joining. 

• *For Starfish Office Hour set-up:
  • Make sure the Passcode is unchecked/disabled!
  • Make sure the Waiting Room is checked/enabled. This allows you to choose which person(s) you would like to allow into your meeting and also prevents a new student from joining in your present meeting if you have back-to-back appointments. 
  • Video should be enabled on for both host and participant. 
  • Audio should be set to Both.

7. Select Save when you are done editing your Personal Meeting Room settings.
