Hello! After a meeting is locked and a participating user loses connection, is it possible to rejoin without the host's permission?

Thanks in advance!

LOCKING a meeting means just that - no one can join because it is LOCKED. Unless you REALLY MUST lock a meeting it is strongly suggested to use the waiting room and a co-host to manage it in order to control additional participants. Many users do not maintain a stable internet connection because they are using a weak WiFi signal and may need to reconnect because of that signal.

Thanks for the reply. Yes, that's our main question: Is it possible for Zoom to automatically accept users who disconnected due to internet connection issues? Based on your answer, no, it's not possible.

Gracias por la respuesta. Sí, esa es nuestra pregunta principal: ¿Es posible que Zoom acepte automáticamente a los usuarios que se desconectaron por problemas de conexión a internet? Según tu respuesta, no, no es posible.
