This is an awesome hidden feature that’s hard to notice if you don’t know where to look.Hosts have multiple ways to schedule meetings. From there, just click “Join” as usual if you want to join the meeting, or copy the ID to use it somewhere else. When you do that, Zoom automatically converts the link into the appropriate ID for you. Paste the link into the Meeting ID field.Here’s how to quickly convert a Zoom meeting link into the matching ID: While using the Zoom ID to join a meeting directly from Zoom is the fastest way to join a meeting, sometimes you’re only provided with a link. So, using the ID is faster, but what if I only have the link? This is especially problematic on less-powerful computers. In addition to the second way being slower, it also leaves your browser open in the background, which leaves less memory open for Zoom to utilize. You can input the meeting ID directly into Zoom’s “Join Meeting” window, which is the faster way, or you can click a link that opens your browser, and after a couple seconds prompts you to open Zoom and join the meeting. If you don’t know, there are two main ways to join a Zoom meeting. In this current season of global pandemics, it’s always nice to save a second or two of time.
