Ever wondered how to keep uninvited guests out of your Webex meeting after it’s started? It’s a pretty simple process, and it can give you peace of mind during important discussions. Here’s how to do it.
Method 1: Locking the Meeting from the Participant Panel
This is generally the most straightforward method.
-
First, locate the “Participants” panel during your ongoing Webex meeting.
-
Next, look for the three dots or an ellipsis menu at the top of that panel. Click on it.
-
From the dropdown menu that appears, select the option that says “Lock Meeting”.
-
You’ll see confirmation that the meeting is now locked. No new participants can join without your permission.
Method 2: Locking the Meeting via the More Options Menu
There’s also an alternative way to lock your meeting, although it requires navigating one extra menu.
-
During the meeting, click on the “More Options” or “…” menu located on your meeting toolbar.
-
From the menu, select “Lock Meeting” option.
-
Your meeting is now locked, just like with the previous method.
