As the use of Zoom becomes a part of daily life, Zoom trolls also increase interference in conversation. Unauthorized trolls are sabotaging the conversation with pornographic broadcasts.
This situation has become such that; According to the FBI; Two new cases occurred at schools in Massachusetts. Considering that Zoom is also used by young children for educational purposes, it is possible to say that preventing Zoom trolls has become more important.
At this point, let's say that you can avoid Zoom trolls by using the Zoom's waiting room feature. Zoom's waiting room feature allows the conference manager to choose who can connect to the conference. In this way, uninvited guests can be kept outside the conference. Let's take a look at how you can use this feature.
How to enable the Zoom Waiting Room Feature?
There are multiple ways to activate the Waiting Room Feature. This feature, which you can assign to meetings specifically, can also be defined in your Zoom ID.
To use the waiting room feature in meetings, first go to the account settings through Account management. Then scroll down the screen to find the Waiting room option and set the on-off button next to it to on.
Once the setting is open, choose who you want this setting to apply to. If you choose the "all attendees" option, you will direct everyone to the waiting room. However, the "guest attendees only" option adds people to different Zoom accounts or adds people who are not logged in to the waiting room.
When you turn the feature on, you can enable the waiting room setting for certain meetings. However, to do this, you must first create a meeting. By pressing the set meeting button on the main screen, you will directly reach the meeting date setting screen.
While setting the day and time of your meeting on this area, you can also turn on the waiting room feature.

You can also ensure that this setting is always on for your Zoom ID, as mentioned above. For this, you need to switch from the Meetings screen to the Personal Meeting Room section.
After this step, press the edit this meeting button at the bottom of the screen.

In the meantime, let's detail how you can use the waiting room feature as the manager of the meeting. Press the manage participants button at the bottom of the screen during the meeting.
Then, by pressing the more option, you can take a participant into the waiting room when joining the meeting from the bottom option of the popup.
When the meeting starts, you can include the people you want to join the video conference by pressing the accept button under the participants tab.
Note that if you do not want to make a selection in this field one by one, you can also choose the Accept all option.
