If you find yourself setting a lot of Zoom meetings, you may notice that you use the same settings again and again.

Settings like enabling join before host, muting participants upon entry, or creating a waiting room can be set and then saved as a template for scheduling future meetings.

First, create your meeting

To get started, go to the Penn State Zoom website. Sign in, and you should be directed to the Meetings area of your account. (If not, click on Meetings in the left navigation menu.)

Click Schedule a New Meeting.

Ready to schedule from your template?

After your template is created, you can use it to schedule your next meeting.

To do so, go to the PSU Zoom web portal. Click Meetings and then Schedule a Meeting.

You will see a new option to use a template when scheduling. Choose the template from the drop-down box.
