Enter class without going through waiting room

I aim teaching class of approx. 40 students. It takes a lot of time to admit each student. How do I allow them to enter before I actually arrive. Answers I have received before said " Launch Zoom web portal. Then select Account management..." I launch Zoom.us via links provided by then university and there is no "Account Management". I clicked the Zoom app in my dock (Mac) and the ensuing window has no "Account Management".

So, how do I let the students join without my action?

When setting up your Zoom meeting do not select waiting room.

There is a setting in your account. Log into your online acc thru your pc and look in the settings, not in a android device.

I changed this so i press nothing and folk enter in front of me. I did it months ago and cant rem the exact location sry. I'm not computer savy and found it ok. Goodluck mate.
