Using your personal meeting ID (PMI) and personal link

Personal meeting ID and personal link are two ways to access your personal meeting room. Your personal meeting room is an always available meeting that is unique to your profile. You can start it at any time or schedule it for future use. You can also schedule or start an instant meeting with your PMI.

Account owners and admins can also disable PMI if they want to require users to always generate a unique meeting ID. If they disable and lock the Enable Personal Meeting ID setting, users will need to edit any previously scheduled meetings that used PMI to update the meeting ID. After updating the meeting ID, they will need to resend the invitation to the meeting invitees.

What is your Personal meeting ID (PMI)?

Your PMI is assigned to you automatically as a permanent personal meeting room. You can start it at anytime or schedule it for a future use. Your personal meeting room's ID, your PMI, will remain the same as long as you use it at least once every 365 days, otherwise it will expire and a new one will be created when you visit your Profile page.

Your PMI is part of your personal meeting URL; for example, https://zoom.us/j/5551112222. If you are a Licensed user, you can customize the 10-digit PMI.
