Using a Zoom Waiting Room
The Zoom waiting room feature allows you to control who joins your Zoom meeting. This provides an added layer of security to avoid unwanted guests from joining and to ensure meeting privacy. Once enabled in the meeting settings or during the meeting, the host will see notifications when someone has been placed in the waiting room.
You can also find additional information about the waiting room features in the Zoom help center.
Admitting Participants to the Meeting
If a participant joining the meeting is placed in the waiting room, notification will appear above the Participants button. Click Admit to bring them into the meeting.
If more than one participant is in the waiting room, you will only be given the option to click See waiting room.
Note: See waiting Room options are outlined in the next section.

The Participants window displays all individuals who have been placed in the waiting room. The meeting host has the ability to admin one at time, everyone and can also send a message to those in the waiting room.
Option A: To admit an individual, hover over the participant name and click Admit.
Option B: To admit everyone in the waiting room, click Admit all.
Option C: Click Message to send a message to all those in the waiting room.
