If you’re leading a Zoom meeting and have activated the waiting room option, you might have to allow access to attendees waiting in the virtual lobby. Follow these steps to do so:
Step 1: Open the Zoom Meeting
First, open the Zoom meeting on your device. You can do this by clicking on the Zoom app icon or by opening a web browser and going to zoom.us.
Step 2: Click on the Participants Icon
Once you are in the meeting, click on the participants icon located at the bottom of the screen. This will open up a panel that shows all the participants currently in the meeting.
Step 3: Find the Waiting Room Participants
In the participants panel, you will see a section labeled “Waiting Room”. This is where participants who have not been admitted to the meeting are waiting. Click on this section to view the list of participants in the waiting room.
Step 4: Admit Participants
To admit a participant from the waiting room, simply click on their name and select “Admit” from the drop-down menu. The participant will then be admitted to the meeting and will appear in the participants panel.
Step 5: Repeat for All Participants
Repeat steps 3 and 4 for all participants who are waiting in the waiting room until everyone has been admitted to the meeting. Once everyone is admitted, you can proceed with your meeting as usual.
Conclusion
Admitting participants from the Zoom waiting room is a simple process that can be done quickly and easily. By following these steps, you can ensure that all participants are able to join the meeting and participate fully.
