In principle you may invite whoever you wish to a Zoom meeting.
When you have created a meeting, you can find the meeting link (see questions and answers above) and distribute it to people you wish to invite, e.g. by e-mail.
We recommend that you distribute links carefully, so that outsiders cannot get access to a link and enter a meeting.
Links should, for example, not be distributed on an open network unless there are good reasons for doing so.
- Zoom Webinar and Zoom Meetings are two different tools, with some small differences in features.
- Zoom Webinar can also be run through Zoom Meetings, so you don't have to download a new program to host a webinar in Zoom.
- The main reason for using Zoom Webinar is the bumber of participants: With the webinar license, you can have up to 1000 participants. USN has 35 webinar licences that are given as needed. Contact Vahid Anari Tafti if you are in need of a Webinar-license.
- NB! All USN users are licensed for up to 300 participants in their Zoom meetings. If you are planning a meeting for up to 500 participants, you can get a separate license for large meetings, which is something other than a webinar. Contact Vahid Anari Tafti.
It is possible to grant and receive so-called "scheduling privilege" in Zoom.
- You may appoint or delegate one or more users to plan meetings on your behalf.
- You may also plan meetings on behalf of one or more users who have granted you scheduling privilege.
- You and the assigned scheduler must be logged in using USN FEIDE login credentials.
- Users whose accounts include scheduling privilege will be able to administrate and function as an alternative Host in all meetings.
To assign scheduling privilege:
- Log in to your Zoom profile.
- Click on "Settings".
- Under "Other", click on the + sign beside "Assign Scheduling Privilege to". .
- Type in one or more e-mail addresses in the window, separated by commas. Click on "Assign".
If assignment to a user is successful, this will be displayed under "Assign Scheduling Privilege to". They must log out of Zoom Client and log in again before they can plan on your behalf.
If scheduling privilege cannot be assigned because the user does not have a USN account, you will receive an error message.
