admit and pin

Question

All lot of my meetings use waiting rooms to keep out Zoom bombers. A nice feature would be to "admit and pin". Today, I can "Admit", but then need to scramble to find the person to "Add pin". Tonight, we had a bomber and luckily I had pinned him when he entered (because it was not a name I had seen before). If I had not pinned him, it may have taken a moment to finally remove the pervert. If "Admit and Pin" was an option, it would be a whole lot less stressful

Your issue is mainly because you publicly posted the IDs and passcodes. Take a look at https://on.zoom.us/ which allows public registration without publicly publishing those numbers which can be easily scraped by bots.

I agree 100% that the problem is the publicly posted IDs and passcodes, but that is how these meetings have been set up. Even if I had the power to change the way of the public registration, it does not change the fact that I want to admit someone and pin them in the same action.

Thank you for the suggestions, but I do not see your suggestions as a solution.

Zoom has created an authentication feature primarily to better control who can join a meeting. The authentication feature requires each participant to have a Zoom account and they must sign in to that account to be verified. Generally, this will keep out the bombers. Having to remove someone takes time and during that time they may be able to interrupt the meeting. Authentication at least requires them to be registered with Zoom with an email address that they had to prove ownership and that email address is a key part of the authentication process.
