Customizing your personal meeting ID (PMI) and personal link

Personal meeting ID (PMI) and personal link are two ways to access your personal meeting room. A Personal Meeting ID (PMI) is a dedicated 10-11 digit number that is assigned to each individual user's account, and this becomes the user's personal meeting room. The personal Zoom link is a personalized alias for your personal meeting ID. Your personal meeting room is an always available meeting that is unique to your profile. You can start it at any time or schedule it for future use. You can also schedule or start instant meetings with your PMI.

Account owners and admins can also disable PMI if they want to require users to always generate a unique meeting ID. If they disable and lock the Enable Personal Meeting ID setting, users will need to edit any previously scheduled meetings that used PMI to update the meeting ID. After updating the meeting ID, they will need to resend the invitation to the meeting invitees.

How to customize your personal meeting ID (PMI)

Your PMI is part of your personal meeting URL; for example, https://zoom.us/j/5551112222. If you are a Licensed user, you can customize your 10-digit PMI.
