If you are scheduling your meetings in advance, you can un-check the Waiting Room option during meeting setup.

If you are starting your meetings instantly, you can click on the Security icon in the meeting and un-check Waiting Room.

If you want to disable Waiting Room for good, then you can do that here: https://zoom.us/profile/setting

But you will still need to have at least one security measure in place on your Meetings - so you are left with Passcode or Require Authentication.

Hope this helps.

I am unable to disable the waiting room in meetings generated by calendly. the option shows greyed out.

We are having the same issue. We keep participants in a waiting room until we start our presentations. Then we like to disable it so those who are late are just admitted automatically. We used to be able to uncheck the "Enable Waiting Room" feature in the Security tab on the taskbar. Now it is greyed out as you said. I read that you can go to the Participant screen and select MORE. A menu will pop up and you can uncheck "Enable Waiting Room" from there. However, it seems to default back to being checked. Will continue to try and find an answer.

You must select at least one security option.

I have the password in place. I have turned off the waiting room. It still is where users land for the meeting.

I schedule multiple Zoom meetings for the person I support through the Outlook calendar Zoom option. I have no intention of entering those meetings, and I don't want to have to tell people to use the password to access the meetings. I want to disable the waiting room permanently. How can I do this. This sudden change is very inconvenient.

I also need to disable it and it's now allowing me to do it. I read that. Now we can't do that. That's ridiculous. I have to interrupt class to for people who are late. Et cetera. Help. Help.

Same issue, unable to remove waiting room for links made from booking tools. I have changed the option in both my personal and org-wide settings

I have no waiting room and no passcode required. Anyone I give the link to is able to just parachute right into the meeting. But, I don't know how I did that. It has been working perfectly that way for 2 years, including today.
