WebEx is a popular video conferencing platform that allows users to connect with each other remotely. One of the features of WebEx is the ability to enable a lobby for meetings, which can help to ensure that only authorized participants are able to join the meeting.
Step 1: Log in to Your WebEx Account
To enable the lobby feature in WebEx, you will first need to log in to your account. Once you have logged in, you can access the settings for your meetings.
Step 2: Access Meeting Settings
After logging in, navigate to the “Meetings” tab and select the meeting that you would like to enable the lobby feature for. From there, click on the “Edit” button to access the meeting settings.
Step 3: Enable Lobby Feature
In the meeting settings, look for the option to enable the lobby feature. This can typically be found under the “Security” or “Advanced” settings. Check the box to enable the lobby feature and save your changes.
Step 4: Customize Lobby Settings
Once you have enabled the lobby feature, you can customize the settings to suit your needs. You can choose to require participants to wait in the lobby until they are admitted by the host or co-host, or you can allow them to join the meeting directly from the lobby. You can also customize the message that participants see when they are waiting in the lobby.
Step 5: Test the Lobby Feature
After making any changes to the lobby settings, it is important to test them to ensure that they are working as intended. You can do this by scheduling a meeting and inviting participants to join. Once the meeting has started, you can see who is waiting in the lobby and admit or deny them access as needed.
Conclusion
Enabling the lobby feature in WebEx meetings can help to ensure that only authorized participants are able to join the meeting. By following these steps, you can easily enable and customize the lobby feature for your meetings.
