Zoom Meeting Reminder
A reminder there are a few options when setting a Zoom meeting, you can have a recurring meeting, a standing meeting, or a new meeting.  This is not new information, but there have been a few questions regarding if you have to start a new meeting every time you meet with students. See the image below to show where you can click to make a meeting a recurring meeting so students can access the same link.

Resource from Placer County
