Meeting Options

Meeting Time: Set the start date and time for your Zoom meeting. Hosts can typically launch the meeting a bit earlier if needed.

Meeting Duration: Enter how long the meeting will last. This information will also appear on the course page for participants to see.

Meeting Duration Type: Choose whether the duration should be displayed in hours or minutes. For example: “40 minutes” or “1 hour.”

Timezone: You can choose a specific timezone for your meeting. If you leave this blank, Zoom will use the default timezone from your account settings.

Auto Recording: Select how the meeting should be recorded: not at all, to the cloud, or saved locally—whichever suits your preferences.

Meeting Password: You can set a password for added security, or simply skip it if you prefer to keep it open.

 

Zoom Default Settings

Acadlix provides you with a few useful Zoom default settings, so that you don’t have to fill them in again and again.

1. Navigate to the Acadlix –> Zoom from Letf hand menu.
2. Click on the Settings page.

Now enable or disable the settings as per your requirements.

Start with host video: Enable whether the host’s video should be turned on automatically when the meeting begins.

Start with participant video: Enable it if you want participants’ cameras should be on by default when they join the meeting.

Allow participants to join before the host: Let attendees enter the meeting room even if the host hasn’t arrived yet.

Enable waiting room: Turn on the waiting room feature of Zoom to screen participants before they can join the meeting. This is generally useful when you don’t want participants to directly enter the meeting.

Approval Type: Choose how participants can join—automatically, manually approved, or no registration required (depending on your Zoom settings).

Mute All participants on entry: Automatically mute everyone as they join the meeting to minimize background noise.

 

Note: If you don’t see the Zoom option in the menu, please enable it from the Addon Manager and fill in the required details (Account ID, Client ID, Client Secret) in the Settings –> Integration –> Zoom Integration.
