Closing a Meeting

For information on how to start and control a meeting, see Best Practices: Hosting a Zoom Meeting. At any point, participants have the option to LEAVE MEETING. A confirmation dialogue box appears and the person can drop off of the Zoom session. Things are different when the Host leaves a meeting:

When the HOST presses the END button at the bottom right of the Zoom menu bar, a different dialog box appears.

Here is the dialog box that then appears

IT IS CRITICAL THAT THE HOST SELECT ‘END MEETING FOR ALL”.  This will close down the Zoom session, allowing others to use that link to open another session.

If this is final process is not followed correctly, members arriving for the next meeting will be stuck in the waiting room and unable to get in to start their meeting. For more details on how this happens and how to fix it, click here.

These courtesies are important so that we all can enjoy Foot Steps meetings as scheduled.
