I have a multi-session Zoom event for one day. Most of the sessions are webinars, except for two meetings.

By default, all the webinars have practice sessions. However, the two meetings do not have practice sessions. I cannot find a place to turn that on. Is that possible?

In the attached screen shot, you can see "start practice" next to the webinars and "start" next to the two meetings.

Practice sessions are not a feature in Meetings - these are exclusively for Webinar.

The best way for you to achieve a similar result to a practice session would be to use the Waiting Room function in Meetings and admit users to the main meeting when ready to start. More info below:

Hi, @Froyd. You can start any Zoom Events session early. Just tell your speakers which session to join, and the Event Host or any Alt Host of that session can start it.

Normally we do this on a day when attendees are not in the Event lobby and not likely to join. But if the lobby is open for all and you don’t want “bystanders” coming in, engaging the Waiting Room feature is a great idea, as @bstrelko mentioned.
