Hello! I will be hosting a Zoom webinar. Could you please tell me how to lock the webinar to prevent participants from joining before the scheduled start time? Thank you in advance!

In the zoom settings, you need to dis-enable

Meeting > Schedule Meeting

Allow participants to join before the host

Allow participants to join the discussion before the host arrives

I also always use the waiting room option for each meeting when I set it up.
I may turn it on or off during the meeting once I am there.

You should see an email saying somebody is trying to join the event if they attempt to connect before you.
