Zoom Basics

Adding Security Settings to Your Meetings

  • Waiting Rooms are automatically enabled on all meetings. If the Host's connection drops, all non-host participants are returned to the Waiting Room until the Host returns.
  • Set a password for your meeting
  • Use Host and Co-Host controls in your meeting
  • Lock a meeting in progress, like closing the door once the class has started - click Manage Participants > More, and choose Lock meeting (Note: Always use Waiting Room when using Lock. Students arriving late or who lose connection with the meeting must be re-admitted manually via the Waiting Room.)
  • Try using Authenticated Users Only when creating your meetings. Make sure to choose Langara Users Only.
