Dear Valued Customer,
We’re always striving to deliver you a secure virtual meeting
environment. *S**tarting April 5th, *we’ve chosen to enable passwords on
your meetings and turn on Waiting Rooms by default as additional
security enhancements to protect your privacy.
*Meeting Passwords Enabled “On”*
Going forward, your previously scheduled meetings (including those
scheduled via your Personal Meeting ID) will have passwords enabled. If
your attendees are*joining via a meeting link, there will be no change
to their joining experience.* For attendees who join meetings by
manually entering a Meeting ID, they will need to enter a password to
access the meeting. 
For attendees joining manually, *we highly recommend re-sharing the
updated meeting invitation

your workweek begins.* Here’s how you can do that:

invitation to share with your attendees. For step-by-step instructions,

For meetings scheduled moving forward, the meeting password can be found
in the invitation. For instant meetings, the password will be displayed
in the Zoom client. The password can also be found in the meeting join URL.
*Virtual Waiting Room Turned on by Default*
Going forward, the*virtual waiting room feature *will be automatically
turned on by default. The *Waiting Room

is just like it sounds: It’s a virtual staging area that prevents people
from joining a meeting until the host is ready. 
*How do I admit participants into my meeting? *
It’s simple. As the host, once you’ve joined, you’ll begin to see the
number of participants in your waiting room within the *Manage
Participants* icon. Select*Manage Participants *to view the full list of
participants*, *then,**you’ll have the option to admit individually by
selecting the blue *Admit *button or all at once with the *Admit All*
option on the top right-hand side of your screen.  For step-by-step
instructions, please watch this *2-minute video
