Require authentication to join

I've not seen "Require authentication to join" as an option before. How does it compare to waitroom and passcode options? Is it the "easiest" route for an attendee to access with?

Hello @GabyGab , this feature is meant to prevent "Drones"/"Hackers" to join/blast your meetings as "Guests"; it forces to whoever joins, it will be because it has a proper account with Zoom (even if free) but with "verified" credentials as opposed as any automata with the URL of your meeting. I would recommend not to replace your current settings of using Waiting Room/Password with this.

 

If your typical meeting participants are "guests", this option will make it more difficult (if not impossible) to join until they don't have some sort of authentication with Zoom.

 

I hope this helps. If so, mark (Accept as Solution).
