Seemingly overnight, the traditional workplace was upended as millions of people shifted from office cubicles to kitchen tables.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If anything has been a saving grace this year for organizations, though, it\u2019s the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ringcentral.com\/video.html\">video meeting<\/a>. But as we continue to depend on video meetings for the foreseeable future, so does the need to keep your meetings secure at all times. After all, unwanted guests can often stop meetings in their tracks when participants discuss sensitive topics.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"heading h3 h2\"><b>Securing video meetings<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To prevent malicious actors and keep video meetings secure, RingCentral has released <\/span><b>Waiting Rooms<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for RingCentral Video. Waiting Rooms gives hosts full control over their video meetings, allowing them to manage who can enter the meeting and when.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>[ebook-download title=&#8221;Learn more about RingCentral&#8217;s commitment to security&#8221; link=&#8221;https:\/\/netstorage.ringcentral.com\/documents\/cloud_communications_security.pdf&#8221; cta-text=&#8221;See the whitepaper&#8221; src=&#8221;https:\/\/www.ringcentral.com\/us\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/RC-security-WP-1.png&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-44601 size-full\" src=\"\/us\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Waiting-room-1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"930\" height=\"700\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When the Waiting Room is enabled, participants must wait for the host to join or manually approve participants before they can enter.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"heading h2\"><b>Different features in Waiting Rooms<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hosts have a breadth of controls when it comes to Waiting Rooms:<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"heading h3\"><b>1. Keep meetings locked until the host is ready<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Video meetings typically launch when the first participant joins the call. With Waiting Room enabled, however, participants wait in a virtual staging area until the host starts the meeting. Once the meeting starts, everyone enters at the same time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Waiting Rooms can be enabled by the host when scheduling a meeting in the RingCentral app or any calendar integration.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-44608 aligncenter\" src=\"\/us\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Waiting-room-2-300x260.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"260\" \/><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"heading h3\"><b>2. Specify groups of participants who can join<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">RingCentral Video gives hosts full control over which types of participants can enter the meeting. For example, hosts can permit only users with a certain domain name from entering, or only employees from a certain department in the company.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This allows managers and project leaders to control the conversation and prevent important information from leaking.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_44614\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-44614\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-44614 size-large\" src=\"\/us\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/WR-1-1024x634.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"634\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-44614\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Select which groups of participants enter the Waiting Room.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3 class=\"heading h3\"><b>3. Admit or deny participants during a meeting<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If a meeting has already started, the host can screen whoever enters the Waiting Room and choose whether they want to admit or deny participants. This keeps the meeting secure in the event that a meeting link is shared with others unintentionally.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-44625 aligncenter\" src=\"\/us\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/waiting-room-4-1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"323\" height=\"637\" \/><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"heading h3\"><b>4. Move participants into the Waiting Room<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hosts can also move participants into the Waiting Room during a meeting. For example, if sensitive information is about to be shared among key stakeholders, the host can move participants back into the Waiting Room until the meeting can move forward. Similarly, hosts can also move hosts back into the Waiting Room if they were admitted accidentally.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-44611 aligncenter\" src=\"\/us\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Waiting-rooms-5.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"322\" height=\"405\" \/><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"heading h3 h2\"><strong>When to use Waiting Rooms<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Waiting Rooms is more than just a security feature.
