You can configure your universal waiting room options to alleviate how cumbersome it is to manage participants’ entry into your Zoom sessions. Please be advised that this is a global setting and will apply to all meetings you host. If you would like to mitigate the use of the waiting room and not have passcode enabled, you can set special rules to allow attendees to bypass the waiting room.

Attendees can be permitted to allow others to join by setting a global option which can be found below. By default, the Host or Co-host can admit those in the waiting room to the meeting. When joining Attendees will enter a staging area until they are admitted to the meeting. It is still recommended to provide the passcode to attendees in the event they are prompted to enter one.

Zoom links for meetings with a passcode will have the passcode embedded in the link. New meetings scheduled with passcodes will operate much in the same way as previous meetings without a passcode.
