Zoom: Authentication Exception

You can invite KU or non-KU invitees without requiring authentication and password via Zoom Authentication Exception.

The invitee receives an email with a link to enter the meeting when this method is used. This invitation link, if shared, could be used by anyone, not just the intended recipient, to join the session.  Therefore, it is critically crucial that invited guests do not share the link they are emailed.

The invitee will put the Invite in the Waiting Room.

You can invite non-KU participants by making an exception in the Course Zoom Sessions.
