Create recurring meetings in Zoom

You can host synchronous, virtual office hours using Zoom. This is a good option to supplement other ways of being available to students.

Using the waiting room feature enables you to allow students in one at a time.
During the meeting, you are still able to see if there are others in the waiting room.
You can send them a private message letting them know you are currently with someone and will be with them shortly.
