Waiting Room

The Waiting Room feature allows the host to control when a participant joins the meeting. As the meeting host, you can admit attendees one by one, or hold all attendees in the Waiting Room and admit them all at once. You can send all participants to the Waiting Room when joining your meeting, or you can allow participants from your Zoom account and participants at specified domains to bypass the Waiting Room. To enable Waiting Room for all of your meetings follow the below steps.

1. Login to Zoom web portal. Then click on Settings menu from the left pane. On the Meeting tab, navigate to the Waiting Room option under In-Meeting (Advanced) and turn on the status toggle.

2. Once enabled you can choose who you want to admit to the waiting room.
   1. All participants: All participants joining your meeting will be admitted to the waiting room.
   2. Guest participants only: Only participants who don't have a LEARN provided Zoom account or are not logged in will be admitted to the waiting room.

3. If you have been put in a Waiting Room and then when you join a meeting you will see the below.

4. If you are the host of the meeting, Waiting Room people will be shown in the participants list. You can admit participants to the meeting individually.

5. You are also able to put a participant who is joined already to the Waiting Room as well.

To enable Waiting Room just for a single meeting go to the scheduled Meeting and click on Edit this Meeting to edit the meeting. Then Enable waiting room option and save the meeting.
