In-meeting Security Options

In-meeting Security Options

The Security icon in the meeting controls allows the host or co-host of a meeting to enable or disable options during a meeting to secure the meeting and minimize disruption during the meeting.

Available security settings are:
  1. Lock Meeting: Locks the meeting, keeping new participants from joining the meeting.
  2. Enable Waiting Room: Enables Waiting Room for incoming new participants or to move current participants into the Waiting Room.
  3. Allow participants to:
    1. Share Screen: Allows participants to start Screen Shares 
    2. Chat: Allows participants to use the chat function.
    3. Rename Themselves: Allows participants to rename themselves from the Participants panel.
    4. Unmute Themselves: Allows participants to unmute themselves without the host's permission. 
    5. Annotate on Shared Content: Allows participants to annotate over content shared during the meeting. The host can enable or disable annotation when the host is sharing. 
  4. Remove Participant: Allows the removal of a participant from a meeting. The participant can not re-join unless Allow removed participants to rejoin is enabled in Meeting settings.
  5. Report: Allows you to report a user to Zoom's Trust and Safety team. You will be able to select which user to report and provide details about the problem. You can also upload evidence, such as screenshots.
