Getting rid of waiting room on schedule meetings

How can I get rid of the waiting room feature on already scheduled meetings?  I need to disable this on some recurring meetings.

 

Thank you for any help with this.

Hello!

 

In the Zoom portal you can edit an existing meeting or series of meetings and disable the waiting room. The only caveat to this would be if password for meetings in not enabled. You must have at least one security method for any scheduled meeting.

Thanks, is this solution still valid - This feature is not working in my organization- no participant can join before host - all are landing in waiting room even after disabling meeting room.

I have the password enabled.  So does that mean if I want the waiting room to go away I just need to start a new meeting link?
