Before You Begin

Zoom passcodes are enabled for all new Zoom meetings as of June 13, 2020. This feature was activated as part of Zoom’s efforts to increase security for meetings. The two most popular methods of scheduling a Zoom meeting are using the Google Calendar integration, and through the Zoom web portal, zoom.nd.edu.

Scheduling Zoom Meeting through Google Calendar

If you have the Zoom Scheduler installed on your computer, any new Zoom meeting will include a passcode.

   Participants on a computer or mobile device will not need to manually enter a passcode if they click on the link.

Note: Please be aware that if the passcode set by the meeting creator uses any form of alpha characters (ex. A,B,C) the phone call-in passcode will be changed to a unique numerical passcode for you to enter.
