As a moderator, you can lock and unlock conferences. When the conference is locked, participants will wait in a virtual waiting room until they are let in by the moderator. This feature allows moderators to manage which participants can enter the conference and when.
Reference the image below for instructions in this section. To access these controls, first lock the meeting.
To lock the conference and open a virtual waiting room:
- Click the padlock icon to lock the conference. Once the conference is locked the Waiting Room button will appear.
- Click the Waiting Room button to manage the participants waiting for the meeting to begin.

A. To let all participants in the call at once:
