Useful Zoom features. The Waiting Room

Useful Zoom features.

Waiting Room, aka the waiting room.

For additional manual authorisation of participants, the host of a Zoom meeting can use the "Waiting Room" feature.

To do this, enable the following in your personal account:
Settings – Meeting – In Meeting(Advanced) – Waiting Room. In the same place you can additionally choose who should be sent to the Waiting Room: all participants of your Zoom meeting or only guest participants, i.e. those who do not belong to your domain.

Participants joining the Zoom meeting will be sent automatically to the "Waiting Room". The event host will then need to move them into the meeting manually. To do this, select "Manage Participants" at the bottom of the screen...

And then, in the pop-up window, select "Admit" or "Remove" next to the participant.

The "Waiting Room" feature is especially useful when you are holding a closed meeting for a limited group of people. And it is highly undesirable for you that someone might attend your Zoom meeting by accident or by mistake.
