Session without a host - Re: [m-virtualmeetinghosts]
开云体育Thanks for sharing!!
Another thing: in the beginning after
defining a session for someone I started and joined the meeting,
handed over host or co-host and left again.
Nowadays I just define the session (and
share the details) but do not join anymore myself. This needs the
setting of 'allow others to join before the host' or something.
But it turns out a big reduction of work load whenever a host
assigning is not needed (not needed for letting people in, so no
waiting room & allowing people to join before host & no
need for advanced controls the host should use like muting all).
Secondly I noticed people would start a
session outside the defined times. I think it was always in a
repeating sequence where the setting was 'allow people to join
before host'. Most likely zoom allows people to join a day before
even..... I was a bit surprised to find out (email alerts). Any
confirmation on this is welcome.
So..perhaps also useable for others.
With best regards

开云体育Hi John
Thanks for your thoughts on this. In NL
we do not have such a rule: if the Regional Organiser
('regionair', or Loc.Sec.) cannot be there, the event will
continue. If priorly it is known the organizer won't be there
he/she most of times will ask one of the regulars to play the role
(mainly to get the silent ones also some space to talk and
participate).
Since we have 2-5 Zoom sessions a week,
being there first, assign someone to be host and leave again, is
some time constraint: a deadline you have to meet as creator of
the Zoom session. So last weeks I set up recurring Zoom events for
two groups, where they could call me as soon something needs
attention from me as Zoom-session creator (I am not participating
in the meetings, and even in some cases I should not know the
contents in principle). Within Mensa NL we have a license for 10
accounts (of each max 300 people) and not every organizer of
something online has his own account. People need to email their
session wishes to zoom@mensa.... with time, subject and special
wishes. This is used for small (3-4) to medium (12-15) groups this
way. And sometimes a big group. For official sessions like an AG
the managed session is the way to go.
There is also one difference I think:
every member of Mensa NL can look up my phone number at home or my
mobile. So in case of need they can immediately call me to handle
the problem. We do require a password for a Zoom session (for
recurring ones the same password), so not much chance of someone
not belonging there dropping in.
And... do we know of a possibility to
really ban someone from a Zoom session? We can throw someone out,
but this person can return on a different device. Only thing
keeping such a person out I think would be changing the access
password (and inform others) but this can't be done during a
running session AFAIK, as long he/she has other devices (or
perhaps private tabs in the browser).
(see step 4). Only if you require
participants to have a valid (free) account (which we do not do
within Mensa NL), a person also would need to create Yet Another
Free Account.
with kind regards,

开云体育Well one way, I just thought about, to
keep people out after they are kicked, is to lock the session. Of
course no one can enter in this case, but it should be sufficient
when someone has obtained access and needs to be kicked out and
stay out.
To lock your meetingStep 1. Once in your Zoom meeting, click on Manage Participants. Step 2. In the lower right-hand corner of the Manage Participant window, click on the button with the 3 dots. 
Step 3. From the drop-down menu that opens, select Lock Meeting. No participants will be permitted while meeting is locked. You can unlock the meeting by going back into the menu and removing the selection. with kind regards
