Create a Meeting using only <mark style="color:red;">**Generate ID**</mark> and <mark style="color:red;">**press Convert before using.**</mark>
{% endhint %}

<mark style="color:red;">**Cautions:**</mark> Please ensure that you have successfully converted the Meeting to a Webinar before others join the Zoom room (others here include participants in the Waiting Room and other Co-Hosts). <mark style="color:red;">If others join your room before converting, you will not be able to Convert to a Webinar.</mark> The solution is to have those who have joined leave the Zoom room completely before you can Convert to a Webinar.

## 1. Go to your Zoom Profile

After receiving the license, sign in to the website [https://cmu-th.zoom.us/profile ](https://cmu-th.zoom.us/profile)

## 2. Navigate to the Meetings menu

## 3. Create a meeting using Generate ID only

If the meeting has already been created, click on the meeting name you want to change to a Webinar and make sure it was created using **Generate ID.**

If there is no meeting yet, you need to create one first. Create it using **Generate ID** only. (Personal ID type cannot be converted to a Webinar)
