Locking the Webex Room

When you are using a Webex room, you may want to keep the meeting private and prevent others from inadvertently joining.

• The Room Lock is global, meaning it bars all entry regardless of who the participant is.

• If a participant drops out, possibly due to poor Wi-Fi on their end, you will have to re-admit them.
