Zoom In-Meeting Options

Once inside the meeting you have created, there are several different settings that can be adjusted. 

General Meeting Settings

General meeting settings can be found by opening the Participants side bar and selecting the three dots at the bottom of the page.

Mute participants upon entry: When a participant joins the meeting, their microphone is automatically muted. The participants still have the ability to un-mute themselves as needed to participate. 

Lock meeting: This option allows the host/co-host to lock the meeting once all anticipated participants have joined. Once a meeting is locked, no further users can join the meeting, regardless if they have the meeting password.

Removing a participant

If you notice an uninvited or unwanted guest has joined your meeting, you have the ability to remove them from the meeting.

To remove a user, select the Participants button along the bottom of the Zoom window. A list of participants will be displayed to the right of the window.
