I only have the free version of ZOOM but would like to set up a meeting where anyone can join without sending out individual invitations. Can I do that from the free version?

Welcome to the Zoom Community, @Tomcat.

 

Check out these Zoom Support articles on Join Before Host and Starting a Meeting Without the Host. Set up a meeting with the settings indicated, and anyone can join any time.

Note that the meeting duration limit for Basic accounts still applies: meetings are limited to 40 minutes, and a 10 minute waiting period is required before a new meeting can be started.
