The Zoom Meeting is now open, ready for you to start managing sign-ins.
Step 5: Manage sign-ins via the Waiting Room
Step 5: Manage sign-ins via the Waiting Room
We recommend you open the Zoom Participants and Chat functions in Zoom, so you can manage and verify sign-ins from attendees in the Zoom "Waiting Room".
Participants: the button has people avatars and is named "Participants"
Chat: the button has 2 speech bubbles and is named "Chat"
When you see attendees in the Zoom "Waiting Room" (seen via the Participants function), send them the sign-in link and code for your meeting via the Zoom "Chat" by selecting "Waiting room participants".
Follow the procedure for verifying sign-ins received, and once you can match them with their Zoom sign-in, you can "Admit" them to the main Zoom meeting, and they will then appear in the main Zoom screen.

🤷♂️What if someone's Zoom name does not match a sign-in?
Sometimes an attendee may not see the sign-in messages in the Zoom "Chat",
or may have entered the Zoom meeting from their phone, so may appear as "iPhone" or "Samsung".
Select the waiting room attendee (who has not signed in) via the "Chat" and ask for their real name so you can match it with their sign in.
Once you have received a message back, verifying their real name, as Host, you can click beside their name to "Rename" them.
And once you can match them with their sign-in, "Admit" them to the main Zoom meeting.
Remember, no sign-in, no entry.
