Assistance with Zoom meeting attendee admission settings

Hello,

Once again, I would appreciate your assistance with another Zoom-related issue.

We are trying to configure Zoom so that attendees can join a meeting directly, without needing to wait in a waiting room or be manually admitted by the host. However, our attempts to disable this requirement have not been successful, or we may have changed the wrong settings.

Could you please advise which Zoom settings need to be adjusted so that attendees are able to join meetings without requiring host approval?

Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Kind regards,

    What you are looking for is setting called “Allow participants to join before host”. You can find all the necessary info (where to change this setting for whole account or for each individual meeting) here:
