When scheduling a meeting, you will be able to save the settings of that meeting so that you will be able to use them to schedule future meetings. As part of the template settings, you have the option to choose whether to enable join before host, enable automatic recording, and set language interpretation. You have the option of saving the recurring meeting schedule as part of the template if you plan to have recurring meetings.

In order to create a meeting with similar settings for the future, you can choose that template when you want to create meetings in the future. There are 40 preset meeting templates that you can choose from.

How to Create a Zoom Meeting Template

First, you need to create a meeting template by configuring the meeting to suit your needs and saving it. Once you’ve saved that meeting as a template, you can use it again for future meetings. You can do this by doing the following:

1. Join the Zoom web portal by signing in with your Zoom account information.
2. Click the Meetings tab on the left hand side of the screen.
3. Select the meeting that you would like to schedule.
4. Make any changes you would like to the template that you would like to apply.
   Notes:
   • When creating a meeting template the host will not be able to save meeting settings such as meeting time and date. During the scheduling of the meeting, all other options that were selected, such as polling, will be applied to the meeting template.
   • There are no meeting templates that can be created using your Personal Meeting ID (PMI). All meeting templates are automatically generated from meeting IDs generated by meeting ID generators.
5. Then click Save.
6. Scroll to the bottom of the page and click Save as Template.
7. Type the name of a template, then choose Save as Template to save it.

Depending on how many meeting templates you have saved, you may be able to view or delete them on the Meeting Templates tab. Each meeting template can hold up to 40 attendees.
