Opening zoom link without account

Hi @kmorgan1 

Generally, meeting participants do not need to have a Zoom account to join a meeting, BUT the host may require all meeting participants to authenticate (aka sign in to a Zoom account) before they can join their meeting. This is often a security measure to ensure they know exactly who joined the meeting and report any participants that caused a disturbance. 

Hope that helps and let me know if you have any further questions. Otherwise, make sure to mark the solution as accepted if this information is what you needed.

All the participants can join the zoom meeting without zoom account,unless you have choiced the only authenticated user can join when you book the meeting.
