Managing Zoom Meetings Passcodes

Meetings can require passcodes for an added layer of security. Passcodes can be set at the individual meeting level or can be enabled at the user, group, or account level for all meetings. This will require participants to enter a passcode before they join a meeting. Account owners and admins can also lock passcode settings, to require passcodes for all meetings on their account, and they can configure minimum passcode requirements. 

These settings are available for passcodes:

• Require a passcode when scheduling new meetings
  • (Optional) Require a passcode for meetings which have already been scheduled
• Require a passcode for instant meetings
• Require a passcode for Personal Meeting ID (PMI)
  Note: You can choose to require a passcode for:
  • Only PMI meetings with Join Before Host enabled
  • All PMI meetings
• Embed passcode in invite link for one-click join
• Require passcode for participants joining by phone

NOTE:  Passcodes are required and automatically generated for all Zoom meetings. Users may change the auto-generated passcode, but it must be at least 8 characters.
