    • Enable join before host: Allows users to join the meeting before the host joins.  A meeting has no host controls – mute/unmute, record, lock meeting or remove attendees
    • Mute participants on entry: Prevents attendees joining late from disrupting a meeting that has already started. Attendees joining a meeting with this setting enabled are notified that they are muted upon joining.
    • Enable waiting room: Creates a holding area for participants before joining the meeting. This requires the host to grant access to those in the waiting room.
    • Record the meeting automatically: Starts recording the meeting automatically as soon as the host joins.
  8. Determine whether your meeting needs an Alternative Host, and enter their email address in this format (MyMCID@Montgomerycollege.edu). This allows you to designate another Zoom account holder to start the meeting in your absence. Click Show across Options to see Alternative Host. The Alternate Host(s) will receive an email with the meeting URL.
  9. Click Save and a web page will provide the Invite Link that you can copy and send to participants.
