I just created my Zoom account today (Basic).  I went to My Profile.  I can see my Host Key but the Sign-in Password is ******.  How do I see it so I can Admit my friends to my Zoom account?

    Hi, @Syuling,

     

    What do you mean by "admit my friends to my Zoom account?"

     

    And by Sign-In Password, do you mean the actual Host Key?

    Click the eyelash and the Host Key will be visible.  If you want to change the Host Key, click the Edit link to the far right of the Host Key.

     

    Be sure to read this Zoom Support article on the purpose of using the Host Key.  There's normally no need for your friends to have it.  They can get their own Basic account, and join your meetings.

    Hello,

    Thank you for taking your time to respond.  

     

    I can see my Host Key.  But I cannot see the Sign-In Password.  The only option for it is Edit; and it asks me to enter the Old Password. However, because I cannot see the Old Password, I cannot edit.  When my friend want to join my Zoom meeting, they need a password, right?  Isn't this the Sign-In Password?

     
    Admit - when my friends want to join my account meeting, they are waiting in a "waiting room" until I "admit"  them.

    oops, strike that about Admitting.  If my friends are already in the waiting room, they have the Sign-in Password.

    Under "Meeting" heading in the profile,  it only shows Personal Meeting ID and Host Key.  So, I'm confused.
