Any Zoom experts on here?

My wife uses her paid for Zoom licence to tutor maths to youngsters when we are away from home. We notice that her meeting ID and passcode are different for every session.

In connection with a small business I join onto someone else's Zoom session regularly and noticed that it is always the same meeting ID and passcode. I have even been able to join a meeting with a third party even before the host is on line.

What is my wife doing differently in her Zoom meeting setup causing her meeting ID and passcode numbers to change for every session?

Thanks,

Have you checked on Google/YouTube? I think you can use your personal meeting id when scheduling/starting a meeting, not sure where to set it to default to this but you should be able to Google it.

I think if you set up a recurring meeting it stays the same - if you vary the times/dates it changes

That sounds like the difference between a series of meetings set up as

1. a recurring meeting, so a single invite which has a single passcode etc. for all the occurrences. This is the better way to work, if you can have the meeting on the same day at the same time. You can usually change the odd meeting after you've sent out the recurring invite without changing the passcode etc.
2. a set of invites, each for a single meeting, each, therefore, with its own passcode etc.

It is like that in Zoom, new numbers every meeting. We use it quite often for work meeting these days and it is actually one of the best program for calling in my opinion. We also need to communicate with the partners from different countries and Zoom works great everywhere in the world. For written communication i use this service https://isaccurate.com/best-translation-service and a normal emails. This way i can take my time when answering someone.

Not if you set up a series of meetings, as described already by golfbananajam .

Recurring meetings will always have the same Meeting ID, I usually set up meetings for 11-12 months, same day & time of the month, all have the same ID 👍
