Zoom is a widely used video conference service enabling remote connections among users. A notable functionality of Zoom includes the waiting room feature, designed to permit entry to meetings exclusively for verified participants. Nonetheless, there may be occasions where adding an individual from the waiting room to your session is necessary. This article aims to guide you on accomplishing this task.
Step 1: Start a Zoom Meeting
To add someone from the waiting room on Zoom, you first need to start a meeting. Once you have started the meeting, you will see a button labeled “Invite” in the toolbar at the bottom of your screen. Click on this button and select “Copy Invitation Link” or “Copy Meeting ID” depending on how you want to invite participants.
Step 2: Share the Invitation Link
Share the invitation link with the person you want to add to your meeting. They will receive an email or message with a link to join the meeting. When they click on the link, they will be taken to a waiting room where they can wait for you to admit them into the meeting.
Step 3: Admit Participants from Waiting Room
Once the person has joined the waiting room, you will see their name and email address in the “Participants” panel on your screen. To admit them into the meeting, click on their name and select “Admit.” They will then be able to join the meeting and participate in the conversation.
Step 4: End the Meeting
When you are finished with your meeting, make sure to end it properly. This will ensure that all participants are disconnected from the meeting and that any sensitive information is not left open to unauthorized access.
Conclusion
Adding someone from the waiting room on Zoom is a simple process that can be done in just a few steps. By following these steps, you can ensure that only authorized participants are able to join your meeting and that sensitive information is kept secure.
