Requiring meetings to have one security option in zoom App
It is possible to require all meetings to be protected through one of the following security options: a passcode, waiting area, or only authenticated users will be allowed into the meeting. Depending on the option you choose, you can increase the security, privacy, and prevent uninvited guests from joining your meetings.
The Waiting Room feature automatically secures all meetings with Zoom if no security option is activated.
