Community

Effective January 9th, 2026 through January 22nd, 2026: The Zoom Community is currently in read-only mode with login disabled, to deliver you a new and improved community experience!

The site is still accessible to view, however, the ability to login, create content, or access your community account is temporarily unavailable. We appreciate your patience during this time. If seeking support, please browse existing community content or ask our Zoom Virtual Agent.

My account indicates participants are allowed to join before the host; however, I have to allow participants to enter. I am also the admin so the global account settings allow ppl to enter. Why are members having to be permitted to enter?
