You can invite guests to join your Zoom sessions at any time. Your guests do not need to have a Yale Zoom account or a Yale Canvas account to join your meeting. They also do not need to be enrolled in your Canvas course.
Every scheduled Zoom session / series has a unique meeting ID number. You simply need to share the unique meeting ID link / phone number with the user and they will be able to use that to join your session.
