Participants Joining a Meeting - Security Options

[GoldStar1]

When I set up a zoom meeting, it seems there are only two security options, and cannot skip either of them.  One is Waiting Room, two is only authenticated users can join (and must sign in).

Is there not a way to skip this and just allow them to join the meeting without the waiting room or signing in?  Both of these options are giving my board of all ages difficulties.  And making stress for all of us.

hi goldstar1,

another option is to use a passcode.

You can require all meetings to be secured with one of the following security options: a passcode, Waiting Room, or Only authenticated users can join meetings. These options provide additional protection and privacy for your meetings and help prevent uninvited guests from joining.

If no security option is enabled, Zoom will automatically secure all meetings with Waiting Room.

Please also see your passcode options.
