Editing and managing Zoom meetings

When scheduling a Zoom meeting, you can configure various items such as the meeting name and date/time. These settings can also be reviewed and changed after the meeting has been created. It is possble to even delete a meeting entirely. However, the screen you use differs depending on whether you are reviewing, edeting,or,deleting a meeting.Since multiple screens that are similar exist,it is important to be careful.

This page explains in detail how to review and change meeting settings and how to delete meetings. Some operations can also be performed through the Zoom app, but others require the web browser. Here, we primarily describe how to operate from the browser.

The Difference Between the “Edit” Screen and the “Manage” Screen for Meetings

To edit or manage meetings on a browser, you must first sign in to the Zoom web portal. After you have signed in, open Meetings in the portal to view the meeting list.

You can open the screens for editing and managing meetings as follows.

• Hover over the meeting you want to operate on, and click the Edit button that appears. This opens the Edit “My Meeting(This is where the name of the meeting you scheduled will be inserted)” screen.
  • In this article, we will call this the Meeting Edit screen.
• On the other hand, if you click the meeting title itself, the Manage “My Meeting(This is where the name of the meeting you scheduled will be inserted)” screen appears.
  • In this article, we call this the Meeting Management screen.

As noted above, this article distinguishes between theMeeting Edit screenand theMeeting Management screen, so please keep this in mind when reading.

Operations on the Meeting Edit Screen

On the Meeting Edit screen, you can review and change the basic items that were set when creating the meeting, such as the meeting name (topic) and the date/time. For detailed explanations of these items, see Scheduling a Zoom Meeting.

For recurring meetings, selecting Edit All Occurrences allows you to review and change settings for all instances at once. Selecting Edit This Occurrence lets you edit only a specific instance, but the items that can be reviewed or changed are limited.

These operations can be performed not only from the browser but also from the app. Select the Meetings tab, click the …icon for the relevant meeting, and then select Edit.
