To invite someone to a Zoom meeting, the most common and easy way is to copy the meeting invitation link and share it with the person via email, text message, or any messaging platform. This can be done before the meeting starts or even during an ongoing meeting. Here are detailed steps:

Before a Meeting

• Using the Zoom desktop client or web portal, go to the "Meetings" tab and select the scheduled meeting.
• Click "Copy Invitation" or "Copy Invite Link" to copy the full invitation including the meeting link, ID, and passcode.
• Paste the invitation into an email, chat, or message to send it to the desired participants.

During a Meeting

• In the meeting window, click on "Participants" in the toolbar.
• Click the "Invite" button.
• Options to invite via contacts, email, or phone will appear.
• You can also select "Copy Invite Link" to paste and send manually.

Using Mobile Devices

• Open the Zoom app, go to "Meetings," select the meeting, and tap "Add Invitees."
• Choose to send the invite via email, text message, or copy the link to share.

This method allows inviting others easily regardless of device or whether the meeting has started yet.
