How do I address unwanted participants during a Zoom meeting?
There is unwanted/inappropriate participation in a Zoom meeting that needs to be addressed.
Interrupt an inappropriate participant share
As the host, you can disable someone’s shared content if needed.
Remove the ability for all participants to share within the session
This can be done both before the session and during the session.
Remove the participant in question
Lock the session
Once you are happy with who is in your session, you can choose to lock your session, so that no one else may enter. Note: If you have students late to a session, they may be locked out. You can unlock to let them enter, and re-lock once they've entered.
Prevent participants from renaming themselves
Muting/Unmuting All Participants in a Zoom Meeting
As the host you can mute all participants in the meeting, so an unwanted participant utilizing audio can be silenced until the host can remove them.
