Applying a Passcode to a Zoom Meeting

Overview

Zoom meetings can require passcodes for an added layer of security. If you set a meeting passcode, you’ll also need to share this passcode, along with the meeting link (Join URL). Encourage your participants not to share the meeting passcode as Zoom will allow anyone with the passcode to join. This document will show you how to edit this passcode.

You may edit your passcode while creating a New Zoom Meeting or For an Existing Meeting
