If you simply create a meeting with no parameters then it will shut off after 40 minutes of having no one logged in (e.g., just the control room computer). However if the meeting is scheduled for specific times then it should persist within that schedule. Zoom meetings can be made to repeat.
Step-by-step guide
- POC schedules the meeting in zoom, and selects the date and time to cover the whole first shift.
- Set the meeting to recur for each of the shifts in the experiment.
- Feel free to add additional time.
The slack tip
What I did recently: schedule a meeting at the Zoom, using my stanford credential to access premium feature, by going to the Zoom app --> Schedule a new meeting --> Select the date and time (make sure you select the time longer than an hour, I selected a 12 hour timeslot). Then with the meeting ID and password (selected a manual password), I logged in from the control room zoom. Later on, you can make the meeting a recurring event. In this way, the control room Zoom always access a meeting scheduled by a premium account. So, no kicking out of the Zoom (at least for now). I have an instance of Zoom still running for the last 6 hours.
