Earlier when I used to join a meeting having Passcode & Waiting Room options enabled it wouldn't ask me to enter the passcode instead it would route me to the waiting room (if I'm not provided the co-host access). But recently I came across a situation where when I was trying to access the zoom meeting link instead of routing me to the waiting room, it's asking me to key-in the passcode. Can someone let me know why that might be the reason ? Is it a new update ?
Hello,
This Zoom support article has a good explanation.
https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/360060396571-Embedding-meeting-passcode-in-invite-link
“You can choose to embed your meeting passcode into the invite link. The meeting passcode will be encrypted and included in your invite link to allow participants to join with just one click and avoid having to manually enter a passcode. An embedded passcode makes your meeting more secure and easier for attendees to join.
If you prefer to disable Embed passcode in invite link for one-click join, your attendees will have to manually enter the meeting’s passcode.”
Regards
