Securing Zoom meetings with passwords

From SimplyMeet.me

With the latest Zoom security improvements, you can protect Zoom meeting with passwords. SimplyMeet.me supports it out of the box. Your Zoom settings have to be adjusted.

Prerequisites

  • If you are using Zoom Basic/Free plan you must add your credit card to your Zoom Billing settings. 

Note: You don't need to subscribe to a paid plan to be able to secure meetings with passwords. Zoom requires it to be able to verify if it's you. 

Without adding credit card details, an option to require a password for meetings won't be available for you.

  • If you are not an admin of the Zoom account, you must ask your group's administrator to enable password protection.

How to secure your Zoom meetings with passwords

1. Go to your Zoom Account Settings.
