When creating new meetings as host, if you want external (non-SBU) guests to join, uncheck the ⃞ Require authentication to join setting.
Note: By default, attendees in SBU Zoom meetings need to sign in using SSO (NetID/Duo) to join SBU Zoom meetings. Adjust meeting settings to allow others to join.
Here's how:
- In a web browser, go to stonybrook.zoom.us *, and sign in
- Click Schedule to schedule a new meeting OR click Meetings, hover over an existing meeting, and click Edit.
- For Recurring meetings, if prompted whether to edit one or all occurrences, click Edit All Occurences
- For Recurring meetings, if prompted whether to edit one or all occurrences, click Edit All Occurences
- In the Security section, uncheck ⃞ Require authentication to join. (If you cannot uncheck it, you might be trying to edit one instance of a recurring event; Click on Meetings on the left again, and select to edit all occurences of the meeting)
- At the bottom, click Save
