How To Disable Waiting Room In Zoom

There are a few reasons why you might not be able to disable the waiting room in Zoom. One possibility is that you’re using an unsupported browser. Zoom only supports the latest versions of Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Internet Explorer. If you’re using an older browser, you’ll need to update in order to use all of Zoom’s features.

Another possibility is that your organization has disabled the waiting room feature.

Yes, you can bypass the waiting room in Zoom if the host sets the meeting to allow participants from your Zoom account and participants with specified domains to bypass the waiting room.

Once this is done, follow these steps:
1. Open Zoom and sign in to your account.
2. Click the “Join” button and select “Bypass Waiting Room.”
3. Click the “Join” button again and you’ll be connected to the meeting immediately.

The Passcode is enabled by default and there’s no way for you to change that. However, as a host you have the option to disable Waiting Room when you want. Simply go to “Settings” after logging in to Zoom’s portal and toggle “Waiting Room” to disable it.

To get rid of the waiting room, simply disable the Attendee in Waiting Room on Entry option in your Zoom application.

To admit participants in Zoom automatically, click manage participants once you are logged in to the Zoom application. In the Participants pane, either click “admit for individual attendees” or admit All to let in everyone who’s waiting.
