To help maintain the security of Webex meetings and prevent uninvited guests from attending, all personal rooms will begin in a locked state. All participants will have to be admitted by the host (professor or TA with host privileges). Learn how to use the Room Lock feature at Locking the Webex Room.

Only Personal Rooms will begin in a locked state, not Scheduled Meetings. However, if you scheduled a Meeting to use your Personal Room by scheduling through Outlook, then the Meeting will be affected by the Auto-Lock.
