Due to ongoing security incidents in unsecured Zoom sessions, the admin settings for our Zoom account has been changed. Zoom hosts now cannot turn off the password requirement when they set up a Zoom session. It defaults to on and can’t be changed.
To find the system assigned password for a session/meeting:
- Enter the Zoom meeting.
- In the ribbon menu at the bottom of the Zoom screen, click on Participants (also called Manage Participants depending upon Mac/PC).
- A new window will open on the right. At the bottom, click on invite.
- A new popup will open, and many names will be listed there. Look in the bottom right corner of that popup and the password for the meeting will be listed.
- Copy that password and distribute to the people who should be in the meeting.
Note: If the meeting ID is unchanged for future meetings, then the password will work for future meetings as well.
