Zoom rolls out Waiting Room, two-password settings over privacy concerns

Zoom has announced that it will enable two security features, including waiting room and two meeting password settings, to make conference meetings private.

As of April 5, 2020, the two password settings will be enabled by default to prevent unwanted participants from attending a meeting, the company wrote on the official support page.

The waiting room feature allows the host to control when a participant joins a meeting. It is also intended to prevent unwanted participants if a link is shared outside the intended group. The new features will be enabled for all Basic users and Pro users with a single license, including K-12 education accounts. (ANI)
