For a meeting with members, Communications recommends a couple of things. First, you should enable a waiting room and meeting password so you can control who enters the meeting. You will have to turn both of those features on before you schedule your meeting, here’s how:
How to set up a meeting password
- Sign into the paid Zoom account web portal and navigate to Settings.
- In settings, click the Meeting tab and verify that the password settings that you would like to use for your meetings and webinars are enabled.
- If the setting is disabled, click the Status toggle to enable it. If a verification dialog displays, choose Turn On to verify the change.
How to enable a waiting room
- On the settings page, click Account Management then Account Settings.
- Navigate to the Waiting Room option on the Meeting tab and verify that the setting is enabled.
Note: If the setting is disabled, click the Status toggle to enable it. If a verification dialog displays, choose Turn On to verify the change.
- Select All Participants
How to let people in the meeting during the meeting
- As the meeting host, click Manage Participants.
- Click Admit to have the participant join the meeting.
I have also provided some training documents below since you will be the meeting host:
- How to Schedule a Meeting
- Meeting Host Control Panel
- How to mute all participants
- All participants will automatically be muted upon entry, to enable and disable their microphones, Open the Manage Participants Panel >Click Mute All or Unmute All. If anyone needs to speak, you can unmute their mics individually or you can let them click the microphone icon in the bottom left corner of their control panel.
- If this is a meeting that needs to be recorded, you can click the Record button on your meeting host control panel at any time.
