How to Add Someone from Waiting Room on Zoom
In today’s digital age, Zoom has become the go-to platform for virtual meetings, conferences, and social gatherings. However, one common challenge faced by users is adding someone from the waiting room to the main meeting. This article will guide you through the steps to add someone from the waiting room on Zoom, ensuring a smooth and hassle-free experience for all participants.
Step 1: Access the Waiting Room
First, log in to your Zoom account and start or join a meeting. Once you’re in the meeting, click on the “Participants” button at the bottom of the screen. This will open a sidebar showing the list of participants in the meeting, including those in the waiting room.
Step 2: View the Waiting Room
In the Participants sidebar, you will see a separate section for the waiting room. Click on the “More” button next to the waiting room section to expand it. This will display the list of attendees waiting to be admitted to the meeting.
Step 3: Admit a Participant
To add someone from the waiting room, click on the “Admit” button next to their name. You can admit a single participant by clicking the “Admit” button once, or admit multiple participants by holding down the “Ctrl” (Windows) or “Command” (Mac) key and clicking on the “Admit” button for each person you want to add.
Step 4: Optional: Assign a Role
After admitting a participant, you can assign them a specific role within the meeting. Click on the “Manage Roles” button in the Participants sidebar, select the participant’s name, and choose the desired role from the dropdown menu. This can be useful for organizing the meeting and assigning different levels of access to participants.
Step 5: End the Waiting Room
Once you have added all the desired participants from the waiting room, you can end the waiting room by clicking on the “End Waiting Room” button in the Participants sidebar. This will prevent any further participants from joining the meeting until you reactivate the waiting room.
By following these simple steps, you can easily add someone from the waiting room on Zoom. This ensures that all participants have a seamless experience and can join the meeting without any delays. Happy meeting!
