Accidently started meeting

I accidentally started my zoom meeting four hours early. How can I close it yet keep the link distributed to participants valid? My meeting is live right now.

After I ended the meeting, I had a friend try to join. Zoom sent me an email message saying that she had tried to join. The email had a button that allowed me to erstart the meeting and she was able to join using the old link. I am going to try to restart the meeting in (now three hours) and am hoping the start button will still work. Wish me luck.
