If you are a Host, please DO the following:
- Set a password for your meeting – generate/ create a new password for each new meeting
- Disable ‘Join Before Host’ to have full control of the meeting
- Enable ‘Waiting Room’ to allow you to control who and when someone joins

- Ensure removed participants are unable to rejoin
If you are a Participant, please DO the following:
- Verify and confirm Meeting ID and password with the host prior to joining
