Managing Authentication for Large Public Zoom Events
If you are hosting an event that requires more than 5 outside attendees, you can adjust the authentication requirements by disabling the authentication of an individual event. This is useful when you have large numbers of users who do not have a Fresno State email account.
IMPORTANT!
It is the expectation that all meetings will have authentication enabled. Meetings that need 5 or fewer outside users should follow the following Knowledge Base article: Adding Authentication Exceptions for Zoom Meetings.
By disabling the authentication requirements for a given event you are allowing users outside of Fresno State to join your meeting. Please consider using the Waiting Room option and/or the Meeting Password option to prevent unwanted participants from interrupting your Zoom meetings.
