Make Sure Your Name Appears as your Full Name in the Waiting Room

Many of you will know that the recent 11am Sunday Zoom Meeting was hacked or “Zoombombed”. To prevent this we are implementing “Waiting Rooms” for Grace UC meetings. 

You will not have to do anything different to join a meeting; however, you will not come directly into a meeting. Rather you will be listed by user name to the host who will click you in if your name is recognized. So it is important ahead of time to check your “Zoom name” and make sure it consists of your first and last name for easy recognition. 

You can check your Zoom name by clicking the Zoom icon on your device and then clicking your photo or icon upper right. Your Zoom name should be listed right at the top. If it is not your full name, drop down to the “My Profile” menu selection and “Edit” your listed name. If you join a meeting without a clear name you may get a “chat” query from the host or not be let in. 

If you join a meeting by using the Join Meeting icon in Zoom you can change your name in the Name block before joining.  This If all this is too complex you could also uninstall Zoom and go through the signup process again at zoom.us (or using the download link below), making sure you use your full name when asked. Phone and tablet users may have to delete and reinstall the app to make changes if the above options don’t appear. For additional help contact larryhatt@gmail.com or 905-331-6054.
