Zoom: Start a meeting as host

To start a meeting that you have scheduled, signin and select Meetings on the left navigation menu.
Select Start found to the right of the meeting ID.
Hosts have many options for managing participants as shown in this Zoom support document. Some common practices are listed here:
- To prevent participants from unmuting their microphone, hover over the Zoom window and select Manage participants, then select More at the bottom of the list, then uncheck Allow participants to unmute themselves. As the host, you can still manually unmute participants if they raise their hand.
- To prevent participants from screen sharing, hover over the Zoom window and select the arrow next to Share Screen, then select Advanced Sharing Options. Under Who can share?, select Only Host.
