You may have heard the term “Zoom Personal Meeting” before and wondered what the purpose of it is and how it compares to the regular meeting you have every day. In this article, we’ll discuss the differences between a Zoom meeting and a Zoom Personal Meeting, including the difference between their IDs, how to host them, where to use them, and what else you need to know.
Zoom Personal Meeting ID vs. Auto Generated: What's the Difference + When to Use Which Option?
A Zoom Meeting ID is a randomly generated set of eleven numbers that is associated with your meeting. This ID is unique to you and only you. Since no other meeting can have the same set of numbers, entering this ID takes participants directly into your meeting.
Every time you host a meeting (without PMI), Zoom generates a new unique meeting ID. This ID expires once the meeting ends. This means that users cannot reuse the same ID.
In addition to generating a new ID, Zoom also creates a randomly generated password for each meeting. The password cannot be edited or changed (unless the meeting is scheduled) and, like the Meeting ID, expires at the end of the meeting.
