Personally, I&#8217;d only used Zoom a few times before the 2020 pandemic had most of us working from home and having regular video meetings. Once the pandemic hit, Zoom became the go-to because of its intuitive interface, ease of use, and ability to join meetings without downloading anything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For me, I love the cross-platform compatibility, including being able to set up a Zoom meeting and join from any browser. Plus, only the host needs an account. So, anyone joining Zoom meetings never has to create an account if they don&#8217;t want to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Something else I noticed was how well Zoom performs on sketchy Wi-Fi. I originally used Zoom on a satellite Internet connection that degraded if a single cloud appeared in the sky. Yet, I rarely had any quality or connection issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the AI boom, Zoom added in the Zoom AI Companion. Free users get three uses per month to generate meeting notes and summaries. Paid users on a Zoom Workplace plan get unlimited AI Companion users along with other AI collaboration tools. AI Companion is included on the web, desktop, and mobile versions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"set-up-zoom-browser\">How to Set Up a Zoom Meeting in Browser<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I always look for ways to avoid downloading and installing more apps, so I typically host Zoom meetings from my browser. This also ensures if you&#8217;re ever using a different device, no downloads are necessary. No matter how you&#8217;re setting up your meeting, <a href=\"https:\/\/maketecheasier.com\/top-tips-for-video-conferencing\/\">make sure you have the right equipment<\/a> and set up your environment beforehand for the smoothest experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a host, you do need to create a free Zoom account if you don&#8217;t already have one. Otherwise, log into Zoom in your favorite browser.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From the dashboard, click <strong>Host<\/strong> at the far right or <strong>New Meeting<\/strong>, depending on which section of the dashboard you&#8217;re on. You&#8217;re prompted to install the desktop software, but you don&#8217;t have to. Just cancel the download and click <strong>Join from browser<\/strong> instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"273\" src=\"https:\/\/maketecheasier.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/how-to-set-up-zoom-meeting-browser-host-800x273.jpg\" alt=\"Click Host on Zoom in your browser to start a meeting.\" class=\"wp-image-856133\" srcset=\"https:\/\/maketecheasier.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/how-to-set-up-zoom-meeting-browser-host-800x273.jpg 800w, https:\/\/maketecheasier.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/how-to-set-up-zoom-meeting-browser-host-400x136.jpg 400w, https:\/\/maketecheasier.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/how-to-set-up-zoom-meeting-browser-host.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the meeting screen opens, click <strong>Participants<\/strong> at the bottom of the screen and click <strong>Invite<\/strong> in the Participants window. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"504\" src=\"https:\/\/maketecheasier.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/how-to-set-up-zoom-meeting-browser-host-participants-800x504.jpg\" alt=\"Opening the Participants window in Zoom in the browser.\" class=\"wp-image-856134\" srcset=\"https:\/\/maketecheasier.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/how-to-set-up-zoom-meeting-browser-host-participants-800x504.jpg 800w, https:\/\/maketecheasier.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/how-to-set-up-zoom-meeting-browser-host-participants-357x225.jpg 357w, https:\/\/maketecheasier.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/how-to-set-up-zoom-meeting-browser-host-participants-714x450.jpg 714w, https:\/\/maketecheasier.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/how-to-set-up-zoom-meeting-browser-host-participants-715x451.jpg 715w, https:\/\/maketecheasier.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/how-to-set-up-zoom-meeting-browser-host-participants.jpg 931w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Invite participants to join a Zoom meeting by sending them the invitation URL or code (along with the passcode to join), searching for users from your contacts, choosing other users from your Zoom Workplace, or by sending an email invitation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"586\" src=\"https:\/\/maketecheasier.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/how-to-set-up-zoom-meeting-browser-host-invite.jpg\" alt=\"Inviting participants to your Zoom meeting.\" class=\"wp-image-856135\" srcset=\"https:\/\/maketecheasier.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/how-to-set-up-zoom-meeting-browser-host-invite.jpg 750w, https:\/\/maketecheasier.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/how-to-set-up-zoom-meeting-browser-host-invite-288x225.jpg 288w, https:\/\/maketecheasier.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/how-to-set-up-zoom-meeting-browser-host-invite-576x450.jpg 576w, https:\/\/maketecheasier.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/how-to-set-up-zoom-meeting-browser-host-invite-577x451.jpg 577w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to schedule a meeting for the future, click <strong>Schedule<\/strong> from the main dashboard.

Also, never share anything too personal during a meeting, especially if you don&#8217;t know all the participants.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Not sure how to set up a Zoom meeting?
