Joining a Zoom Meeting After It Has Started: Everything You Need to Know
In the age of remote work and virtual meetings, Zoom has become an invaluable tool for staying connected with colleagues, friends, and family. But what happens if you’re running late and need to join a Zoom meeting after it has already started? Fortunately, it’s easy to join a Zoom meeting after it has begun. Here’s everything you need to know about joining a Zoom meeting after it has started.
How to Join a Meeting After It Has Started
The first step in joining a Zoom meeting after it has started is to locate the meeting ID. This can usually be found in the invitation email or text message that was sent out prior to the meeting. Once you have the meeting ID, open the Zoom app on your device and select “Join a Meeting” from the home screen. Enter the meeting ID and click “Join” to enter the meeting.
What You Can Expect When Joining Late
When you join a Zoom meeting late, you may be placed in a virtual waiting room until the host admits you into the call. This is done for security purposes and helps ensure that only authorized participants are allowed into the call. Once admitted, you will be able to see and hear everyone who is already in the call but may not be able to see any shared screens or documents until they are re-shared by the host.
Tips for Joining Late
When joining a Zoom meeting late, there are some things you can do to make sure that your entrance goes as smoothly as possible. First, make sure that your microphone is muted before entering so that your audio doesn’t disrupt anyone who is already in the call. Second, try to enter quietly so as not to draw too much attention away from whoever is speaking at that moment. Finally, if possible, try to catch up on what was said before joining so that you can better follow along with what’s being discussed once admitted into the call.
Joining a Zoom meeting after it has started doesn’t have to be difficult or disruptive. With these tips in mind, you can easily join any late-running meetings without missing out on any important information or conversations.
