How to Authenticate New Class Meetings

Written By Colēgia

Hosting a class session is crucial for teachers during remote learning. One of the most important features for meetings is ensuring that the room requires authentication to join. This ensures that the correct members are able to join it without worry of a third party. Let's take a look at how to set this up for the meeting host.

1. First we'll want to head to our Zoom dashboard and take a look at the left side of the page. You'll notice that there are several options with one of them being named “Meetings.” Click on the option that says “Meetings.”

2. On this screen you should notice that there several tabs above. Make sure that the “upcoming” tab is selected first. On the right side of the screen you will see an option that says “schedule a meeting.” Click on that option and you'll be greeted with a new page.

3. For this page, you will want to make sure the video options are on for both the host and participant. On the audio tab, ensure that you allow both telephone and computer audio for more accessibility for those involved in the meeting.

4. Scroll down on this page to find a section that says “Meeting Options.” Under this you will see that there is a box which says “Require authentication to join.” Click the box and there will be a checkmark which will indicate that new users will need authenticate before they can join.

With all of that in mind, your meeting is now set up and ready for others to join! Proper safety matters when it comes to establishing class meetings and this method allows for intuitive access for both teachers and students to participate.
