Keep uninvited people from joining your meeting by locking it after you start it. If you don't lock your meeting, anyone who has the meeting link can join it. When you lock a meeting, you can see who's waiting to join and let individual people in, or let everyone in at once.

You can lock or unlock Personal Room meetings and enhanced meetings associated with a space. Depending on your Webex site settings, you may be able to lock or unlock Webex scheduled meetings too.

You can play a notification sound when someone is waiting in the lobby.

Lock meeting

When your meeting is locked, nobody can dial in. Only the host can join. If the meeting is set to automatically lock soon after it starts or the host locks the meeting, the host must unlock the meeting first.

If your Webex Meetings preferences are set to automatically lock your Personal Room a specified number of minutes after the meeting starts, those preferences also apply to your Webex Personal Room meetings in Webex App. Depending on your Webex site settings, you may be able to adjust the automatic lock settings for your Personal Room. See Set Your Webex Meeting Personal Room Preferences .
