Zoom - Security

• Enable waiting room: This feature allows you to see all participants in a waiting area before permitting them into the meeting.
  
• Meeting Password: This provides an additional layer of security, requiring your participants to have access to your meeting link as well as the numerical password.
  
• Require Authentication to Join: Selecting this setting will ensure that only participants who are signed into a Zoom account will be able to join your meeting.
  
• Mute participants upon entry: Selecting this feature ensures that no participant joining the meeting will be able to unmute their microphone unless you, as the host, provide that permission 
• Participant Video: Turning the participant video off will ensure that participants are unable to use their camera in the connection and potentially distract other participants
  
• Allow participants to join anytime: This feature should be unchecked as it would allow anybody with your meeting link to start your meeting without your participation.
