Every Zoom user has a Personal Meeting Room that is permanently reserved for their own use. It can serve as a virtual office where others can drop by easily without formal invitation or coordination.
This article provides guidance on using Zoom's Personal Meeting Rooms.
Using a Personal Meeting Room for Zoom Meetings
Users can access their Personal Meeting Room using their Personal Meeting ID (PMI), which is a 10-digit number that can be found on their Zoom profile page.
Once a participant has the link to a user's Personal Meeting Room, they can join it at any time the meeting is in use, unless the meeting is locked or the Waiting Room feature is used to admit participants individually. It isn't recommended to use it for recurring meetings, or with individuals that users do not meet with regularly.
Standard Personal Meeting URL
The PMI is used to form a Personal Meeting URL, which is the URL that connects to the Personal Meeting Room.
For example: if a user's Personal Meeting ID is the number "5551112222", then the Personal Meeting URL will be "https://ncsu.zoom.us/j/5551112222". This URL can always be used to connect to the particular user's Personal Meeting Room.
The PMI can be changed to any 10-digit number through the Zoom profile page.
Custom Personal Meeting URL
A Personal Meeting Room can have a "Personal Link," which is a custom URL. It takes this form:
- "https://ncsu.zoom.us/my/YOUR_CUSTOM_TEXT_HERE"
To edit a Personal Link, follow the instructions in Zoom's "Customizing your personal meeting ID (PMI) and personal link" article, signing into the NC State Zoom web portal.
