'''Create Waiting Rooms for attendees'''
'''Manage participants'''
'''Require host to be present before meeting starts'''
'''Disable all participants to record'''
'''Only allow individuals with a given e-mail domain to join (when possible)'''

===Zoom April 8 In-Meeting Security Controls===
These controls include:
*'''Lock Meeting''': Locks the meeting, keeping new participants from joining the meeting.

==Prevent Unwanted Zoom Participants==
Once in a meeting, uninvited guests can listen in on discussions, capture screenshots of shared content, and even disrupt the meeting with unwanted video, audio, or shared content.
If someone you don't know shows up in your meeting, you should take it seriously; it's possible that these incidents may constitute a phishing attempt to obtain confidential information or access to RCS services.
<br />
=====Set a Meeting Password=====
Setting a Meeting Password is such an effective way to keep non-community members out of Zoom Meetings, we've required all RCS meetings '''created after March 27''' to be automatically created with a password. This cannot be turned off and the password cannot be removed - only changed. To find the password for your meeting:
<br />
#Log into zoom at https://riverdale.zoom.us ,
#Click on "Meetings" in the side-bar
#Choose the meeting from your list whose password you're unsure of
#Click on the name of that meeting
#You will see the Meeting Password on the information screen.
If you created the meeting before March 27 and would like to set a password, please follow the instructions above and choose "Create a Meeting Password" on the Meeting information screen.
<br />
=====Lock the meeting=====
It’s always smart to lock your front door, even when you’re inside the house. When you lock a Zoom Meeting that’s already started, no new participants can join, even if they have the meeting ID and password (if you have required one).
*In the meeting, the "Security"
*In the pop-up, click "Lock Meeting". There will now be a check mar next to "Lock Meeting"

=====Waiting Rooms=====
Once in a meeting, uninvited guests can listen in on discussions, capture screenshots of shared content, and even disrupt the meeting with unwanted video, audio, or shared content.
The Waiting Room is a helpful feature for hosts to control who comes and goes. If you have Waiting rooms enabled on a meeting, you can go [https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/115000332726-Waiting-Room#h_f493a86f-7d08-4e3b-9d6d-9b236fe9cdcd here] to see Zoom's documentation on using them.

*Allow removed participants to rejoin: When you do remove someone, they can’t rejoin the meeting. But you can toggle your settings to allow removed participants to rejoin, in case you boot the wrong person.


'''Lock the meeting -''' It’s always smart to lock your front door, even when you’re inside the house. When you lock a Zoom Meeting that’s already started, no new participants can join, even if they have the meeting ID and password (if you have required one).
