Zoom makes it simple to meet with others by using your Personal Meeting ID (PMI).
PMIs are great for recurring, informal or internal meetings where the attendees are consistent and trusted. For example, you might use it for quick team check-ins or one-on-one conversations. Because the link never changes, there’s no need to send new invitations each time. However, because it is always accessible with the same meeting ID and personal Zoom link, it should not be used for back-to-back meetings or people you do not meet with regularly. Once a participant has the link to your PMI, they can join it at any time the meeting is in use, unless you lock the meeting or use the Waiting Room feature to admit participants individually.
