Meeting and Webinar IDs in zoom App

An instant or scheduled meeting is identified by the meeting ID. This is usually a 10- or 11-digit number. Meetings can be instant, scheduled, or recurring with this 11-digit number.

Personal Meeting IDs are 10-digit numbers. The meeting number for meetings scheduled before April 12, 2020 might be nine digits long.

Meeting ID expiration rules

General

• When the instant meeting ends, the instant meeting ID will expire.
• After you schedule your meetings, you can start them at any time after they have been scheduled.
• It is not possible to start a meeting if it is not listed in your upcoming or previous meeting list in the web portal.

Scheduled, non-recurring meetings

• Meeting IDs for one-time meetings (also known as non-recurring meeting IDs) expire 30 days after the meeting date. The same meeting ID will remain valid for another 30 days if it is restarted within the 30 days.
• As long as the meeting ID has not expired or been deleted, scheduled meetings can be started earlier than the scheduled time.

Recurring meetings

• If you don’t start a meeting occurrence for 365 days, the recurring meeting ID expires.
• Resetting the 365 day timer will allow you to re-use the meeting ID for future occurrences.
  Note:
•  For the most accurate information about scheduled dates and times, please consult the Zoom web portal when scheduling meetings with the Outlook or Google Calendar integrations.

Webinars

• The webinar ID will expire and become unusable after the webinar’s scheduled end-time if the webinar is not currently in progress.
• There is a 90-day archiving period after webinars have ended or have been last modified.

Personal Meeting ID (PMI)

• In addition, your Personal Meeting ID (PMI) will also expire in 365 days if you haven’t started your PMI in that period. This is because PMI is a no-fixed time recurring meeting.
• The next time you view your Profile page or the Personal Room settings page after it has been deleted, a new PMI will automatically be assigned to you.

Expired or deleted meetings

• It is highly likely that the ID for your meeting has expired or has been deleted if you are getting an invalid meeting ID message when you try to start your meeting. Ensure that the meeting ID is visible on the meetings page on the Zoom web portal if you are the host of the meeting.
• In case of deleted meetings, you can recover them up to one week after they have been deleted. In the event that you recover a meeting, you can still use invitations, links, and meeting IDs that were sent prior to the meeting being deleted.
• Recovering meetings that were deleted permanently from the trash can is not possible.
