Have you ever scheduled a Zoom meeting and heard afterwards that some people had trouble joining it?
WSU Zoom meetings can include a security setting that requires users to be signed in to a Zoom account—either free or paid—to join our meetings. When this setting is enabled, it often causes confusion for people who don’t use Zoom regularly or are external to WSU, which may lead to delays in people joining the meeting.
This setting is typically enabled by default, but you can disable this security setting when creating a meeting in the following ways.
Begin scheduling a meeting in Outlook, and make sure you have the Zoom plugin.- In the top toolbar, click the Settings option beside the Add a Zoom Meeting option.
- Under the Security settings, deselect the option Only authenticated users can join.
- Sign into your Zoom account at wsu.zoom.us, and begin scheduling a new meeting.
- Under the Security settings, deselect the option Require authentication to join.
Open and sign into the Zoom application.- Begin scheduling a meeting.
- Under the Security settings, deselect the option Only authenticated users can join.
