Interestingly, in the meeting history drop down, the meeting will initially show up as usual ie with the name \”Weekly Information Meeting\”. Then after choosing it, inputting the correct password, and being told the password is wrong, the name changes on the history drop down to the generic \”Zoom Meeting\”. This seems to be related to the Client itself. Interestingly, it happens most often after I update Zoom. Also, after a time, maybe an hour, often I can connect successfully with all the same credentials.

Hey Jason , strange! I was able to create a test meeting with a 1 character password and join.. You could always save your meeting as a meeting template and recreate a new meeting to see if that resolves your issue as well.

The only reason I mentioned the password being 1 character was to show that it is not just a problem with entering the password incorrectly. It should be noted this problem has happened with longer passwords as well. It\’s not restricted to just one host, leading me to believe that it\’s not a problem with the host\’s settings. In addition, using my wife\’s computer also windows 10, same zoom version as me, both of the up to date I\’m able to get into the meeting just fine.

I have not had this problem when clicking on a direct link in email, etc , maybe because then there is no need to enter the password. However, in most of the zoom meetings I attend, the host cannot send an invite, there are too many people and it\’s a meeting open to the public.

That is out of my hands. I must enter the zoom ID and password. Since the history of the zoom meeting still shows up with the correct number, but with the name of the meeting changed to just \’zoom meeting\’ , it makes me think there is some problem with a cache issue on the windows version. On my phone I can clear the cache easily, but there seems to be no way to do so on windows.

I can clear the history which does not fix the problem as stated above. Finally, very very strangely, I can usually attend after a short time, maybe 30 minutes to an hour later.

If I just keep trying to join, eventually it will let me. We are having the same problem and it does look like a client problem. I can not log in using the password from another organization but if i go to a browser it allows me to log in but then lose my \”profile settings, backgrounds etc\” Updating the client and other troubleshooting does not resolve.

Any thoughts from Zoom? As a host, you are the final decision maker concerning the security settings of your meeting. Always remember that you control nearly every aspect of the meeting, including when it begins and ends. Follow the security best practices when scheduling the meeting, during and after the meeting, based on your needs for protecting your attendees as well as keeping meetings and your information secure. As a reminder:. Report Interruptions. If you are conducting a video conference and experience an interruption, please be sure to report it to the University.

We take every interruption very seriously, and we will investigate to the fullest extent possible. Depending on the nature of the interruption, you may take one or all of the following actions:. In Zoom, hosts will see the meeting Security icon. Clicking the icon shows many useful options in a single menu.

If you activate both, only the Waiting Room will be activated. Be aware that anyone who has the full link that contains the encrypted passcode can join your meeting—so do not share a meeting link publicly, particularly on social media.
