Hi everyone! Is it possible to disable the participants' cameras when creating the meeting?

hi @Thaís De Menezes ,

Zoom would call that a webinar, but you can simulate it in Zoom

WHen you setup the meeting. You can turn them off by default.

Then, once in the meeting you can stop them from turning on their cameras from the host - participants options

All the best

@ExpertswhoJohn to the rescue! 😊 @Thaís De Menezes, just adding that you can find these settings when through the online portal (not the app). @ExpertswhoJohn’s right - this sounds more like a webinar than a meeting - but if you already have it scheduled you can change the settings before the meeting like @ExpertswhoJohn shows. Check out these settings (outlined in red) specifically:
