Meeting host

New to zoom.

Is there a why to schedule a meeting and pass on the meeting details to the attendees and not need to log into the meeting as the host to start the meeting?  Does the host need to log in?

There may be a valid reason to create a meeting where a host doesn't have to log in in order for the meeting to be started (i.e. small internal team meeting, club, family group, etc.); however, for security, you should at least consider either pre-registering attendees with their preferred or Zoom-connected email account or requiring them to sign in to Zoom before joining/starting the meeting. And be sure to NEVER share/post the Meeting ID/details/links on social media to curb unwanted or malicious "guests".
