You can also send users back to the waiting room if they aren’t adhering to your community standards. You can customize your waiting room from the Settings in the PCC Zoom website. You can even chat with people in the waiting room if you don’t recognize their name. This is a popular feature for instructors who want to make sure they recognize the name of participants. Waiting Rooms allow you to review who is trying to join the meeting before they can enter. We recommend using digits for participants who connect via phone bridge. You can customize your passcode when creating the meeting.

Meeting invites that you send will include the passcode, and in some cases, participants won’t even need to enter the code to join if they use your calendar invite or meeting invite. It prevents people from randomly guessing your meeting based on the meeting ID. Passcodes add another layer of security to your meeting. This way you know who will be attending ahead of time.
