Attending a meeting without participating in it

[EM_MResearch]

Hi, there.

Do you know how can I have someone attend a zoom meeting without participating in it?

My client wants to attend a zoom meeting (a focus-group) without being noticed. Can you help me?

Many thanks.

Kind regards.

hi em_mresearch,

maybe using a cohost for the meeting.  the cohost could be named admin support or whatever you want.  may want to turn off video and mute mic.  host and cohost do not participate in polls.

please see support article on meeting roles.

Have your client keep their video off and rename them with an incorrect name.

Thank you very much, Jim. That's a good idea! 🙂
