Zoom Meeting Passcodes 

Meeting passcodes are recommended for security & HIPAA compliance.

Adding a Passcode to a Meeting

1. Navigate to the meeting and click Edit
2. Click to expand the Advanced Options
3. Select Require meeting password and enter a passcode for the meeting
   If you turn on the requirement for attendees calling in by phone to enter a passcode, a numeric passcode will be easier for all participants. A participant dialing in will not be required to enter the passcode unless that feature is turned on by the host.
   Zoom does not require a strong passcode. A simple word or series of digits is acceptable for a meeting passcode – the more complex the passcode, the more difficult it will be for attendees who have to type it in to join your Zoom session.
4. Click Save at the bottom of the window

Your meeting invitation will include the passcode. Attendees who click the link in the invite to join will not have to enter the passcode. If an attendee enters the meeting ID into their Zoom application or online to join, they will have to locate and type the passcode to join the meeting.

Confirming passcodes 

1. While scheduling meetings please visually confirm you see a passcode. If you do not please enter in a [6-digit] one before proceeding 
   
2. Meeting-in-progress passcode can be seen by clicking ‘i‘ in top-left

1. Joining Nexus meeting by clicking link on PC/smartphone, you shouldn’t need to enter a passcode
