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 <http://click.zoom.us/e/84442/fhZk1tUtto8/bjwp6m/1500135842?h=dzrpS3nK9bJPPQ8kNS3PocGUEJePY359wM8OyzQxyPg>*<http://click.zoom.us/e/84442/fhZk1tUtto8/bjwp6m/1500135842?h=dzrpS3nK9bJPPQ8kNS3PocGUEJePY359wM8OyzQxyPg>*before your workweek begins.* Here’s how you can do that: Log in to your account, visit your *Meetings <http://click.zoom.us/e/84442/meeting/bjwp5t/1500135842?h=dzrpS3nK9bJPPQ8kNS3PocGUEJePY359wM8OyzQxyPg>* tab, select your upcoming meeting by name, and copy the new meeting invitation to share with your attendees. For step-by-step instructions, please watch this *2-minute video <http://click.zoom.us/e/84442/t6W3XZ2KAqo/bjwp5w/1500135842?h=dzrpS3nK9bJPPQ8kNS3PocGUEJePY359wM8OyzQxyPg>*or *read this FAQ <http://click.zoom.us/e/84442/hc-en-us-articles-360041408732/bjwp5y/1500135842?h=dzrpS3nK9bJPPQ8kNS3PocGUEJePY359wM8OyzQxyPg>*. 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 <http://click.zoom.us/e/84442/cles-115000332726-Waiting-Room/bjwp63/1500135842?h=dzrpS3nK9bJPPQ8kNS3PocGUEJePY359wM8OyzQxyPg>* 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.
