Can I Lock Meeting by default?

My participants get credit for attending at least 50 out of a 60-minute presentation. The problem is that when I log in to the meeting, people are already in the waiting room (some up to 30 minutes early) so they only need to sit through part of the meeting to get credit. Is there a way to lock the meeting by default so participants can't join until I join a few minutes before our scheduled start time and unlock the meeting, then they go into the waiting room until the meeting starts?

I like the Lock Meeting feature, but I wish I could lock it by default for every meeting. 

I recently experienced an issue with selecting the "optimize for video" when I started a meeting from Zoom Room. The option appeared grayed out when the meeting was started from Zoom Room, but it was selected able if it were started from a computer.  Has anyone else noticed this? 

thanks. 

I would like to know how I can monitor our invitees that we invite via outlook with zoom link. The invitees are in a distribution list. Every quarter we speak to these invitees so we would not like to let them register. Sometimes a person moves on and and will be replaced but the group remains stable. During the zoom call I constantly need to monitor that not an unknown person enters the meeting. Because everyone with the link can enter the meeting. Would there be another solution that I know when someone who should not enter the meeting does that?

I use Zoom and OBS for Video Conferences.  I also use IRIUN to use my Iphone as a webcam.  This combination works fine for Teams (OBS, IRIUN, and IPHONE) using the Virtual Camera of OBS.  The OS platform I am using is UBUNTU 21.10.  When I try to use this combination with Zoom the Virtual Camera dosen't show up in the camera selection section, the iriun camera does, but when selected it only shows a grey screen.  If I use Zoom with iriun and my Iphone it works fine, it also works fine if I just OBS and a USB web cam.  Zoom finds the Virtual Camera just fine.

Thanks for any suggestions.

After using Zoom with no issues for the past 2 years, I have recently encountered issues which are having a substantial effect on my use for work. Frequently, during a meeting, Zoom will close and then reopen again several seconds later - sometimes it doesn't reopen however and I have to reload the meeting again. This usually happens when I unmute to use the microphone, however sometimes it appears completely random. When Zoom crashes, I receive no notifications to indicate a likely cause, it simply closes and then reloads (sometimes!).

I have checked my wifi, microphone software and internet connection however these do not seem to be the cause of the issue. I have also, removed the Zoom App and reinstalled it to see if this fixes the problem, however none of these solutions have worked.

Hey there,

I am here searching for why meeting is lock by default on my website. Currently I am working on one of my website Global digital magazine I am doing meeting on my website. Meeting is lock by default on my website. How can I do this? Need help regarding this.

Ever since I updated to the new version my floating chat box disappears whenever I share my screen in fullscreen. It no longer pops up in front of my shared screen window, but instead hides behind it on my desktop. As a result, I have to pause sharing to minimise the window so I can see the chat box, and then resume sharing when I've read the messages. It's quite frustrating. Anyone else having the same issue since the update?
