You can generate a Meeting ID or use your own Personal ID.
Zoom will give you a randomized password or you can erase that and create your own password. In certain cases, depending on the place you work/go to school in, you do not have the option of not needing a password as is the case here where the password switch is blocked off. If you click directly on a link you will not have to enter the password. If you are typing in the meeting ID, you will need to enter the password.
You can enable the waiting room to monitor participants that are coming in. For security reasons HCCC Libraries require that the waiting room is always enabled when Zoom meetings are scheduled.
Choose if you would like you and/or your participants to have video on or not.
Choose which calendar to sync your scheduled meeting in. You may have to adjust settings on your calendars to enable the sync.
Under "Advanced Options" you can check other requirements that you would like for your meeting.
1. Allow participants to join anytime - Participants can join late into the meeting or come back when they step off for a bit.
2. Mute participants upon entry - Participants will be muted so as not to disturb the meeting if there is noise in their background.
3. Automatically record... - Meeting will be recorded and saved into the computer as soon as it starts.
4. Approve or block entry... - You can allow or block users from certain countries/regions that you do not want interfering your meeting.
If you check the "Approve or block entry..." box, the following dialog box will appear. Choose whether to allow or block users and specify which countries/regions to allow/block in the box. You can save or cancel your changes.
