How to Share a Zoom Meeting Link (2020)

Sharing a Scheduled Meeting's Link

Go to https://www.zoom.com and sign in. Click Sign in in the top right corner and enter your credentials or click to use Facebook, Google, or SSO to sign in. If you prefer to use the desktop client, you can; however, buttons will be in different places than on the website.

Click Meetings. You'll see this in the vertical menu on the left side of the page if you're using a web browser. If you're using the desktop client, you'll see "Meetings" in the horizontal menu at the top of the window.

Click the meeting you want to share (web only). The "Upcoming" tab should automatically load with all your scheduled upcoming meetings. If you're using the desktop client, you don't have to do this step since all your scheduled meetings and their details are listed on the "Meetings" page.

Click Copy Invitation. It's to the right of the "Invite Link" header on the website. A window will pop up with the invitation's details if you're using the website.

Click Copy Meeting Invitation (web only). This will copy all the information in the text box to your clipboard. If you're using the desktop client, this is an automatic process and you won't see this step.

Share your copied invite. You can paste that invite in an email or in a Facebook Message with your friends so they can join the meeting.

Sharing an On-Going Meeting's Link in the Desktop Client

Open Zoom and join a meeting. This application icon looks like a video camera inside a blue circle that you can find in your Start menu or in the Applications folder in Finder. You might have an invite to a meeting in your email or have a link or code that you can use to join an ongoing meeting. Refer to How to Join a Zoom Meeting on PC or Mac for more information.

Click Participants. It's with an icon that looks like two people centered at the bottom of your screen.

Click Invite. This icon is located in the bottom right corner of your screen.

Choose a method of sharing. You can click "Copy Invite Link," "Copy Invitation," "Email," or "Contacts." The option for "Copy invitation" will copy the entire meeting's detailed information whereas "Copy Invite Link" will only copy the URL for the meeting. If you choose "Email," you'll next have to choose which email service you'd like to use (the default email you have set up, Gmail, or Yahoo). When you choose an email service, you'll be prompted to log in, then an auto-generated email will open for you to add recipients to in order to share the meeting link. Click the "Contacts" tab to share the meeting with contacts you have on Zoom. Simply click to select them in your contacts list, then click Invite.

Share your copied invite. You can paste that invite in an email or in a Facebook Message with your friends so they can join the meeting.
