How to Join Zoom Meetings Requiring Passwords

Zoom meetings may have an extra layer of privacy where they require a password to join the meeting. This article will walk through step-by-step how to join different devices with the Meeting ID specifically.

Information About Using Meeting Links

Meetings that require passwords will have longer URLs than meetings that do not require a password. Example of no password URL: https://oklahoma.zoom.us/j/#########

Example of password URL: https://oklahoma.zoom.us/j/#########?pwd=NHVLYi9yUFJwNklHWk9zZnRGN015QT09

NOTE: Meetings that later add required passwords can still be joined with the non-password URL, but you will be prompted to enter the meeting password when attempting to join the meeting. You may not receive an updated URL if the meeting host does not send out a new invitation with updated meeting information.

Meetings requiring passwords’ URLs will contain the password in them for the meeting so you will not be prompted to enter a password if you click the link in the invitation. The link will be under “Join Zoom Meeting” near the top of the invitation. Clicking the link will prompt you to open the Zoom client on your device and you will join the meeting without needing to enter the password.

Meeting ID

Meeting ID will be included in the invitation as well with the meeting password beneath it. Example:

Meeting ID: 362 043 714
Password: Sooner
