1.1.1.2 Ensure waiting room is set to enabled

Information

When participants join a meeting, place them in a waiting room and require the host to admit them individually. Enabling the waiting room automatically disables the setting for allowing participants to join before host.

Rationale:

This option ensures that the participants are by default entered into meeting.

Impact:

When hundreds of participants are joining, the Co-Hosts has to admit all participants and may take time.

Solution

Go into the Zoom Admin Dashboard on the zoom website. Account Management -> Account Settings -> Meeting -> Waiting Room and ensure it is set to enabled.
