Zoom has taken hold in everything related to online meetings with friends, family or colleagues. This thanks to its ease of use but at the same time extensive customization and configuration options, we know that there is a free version which is limited to a maximum of 40 minutes.
One of the critical points is the security of the meeting, whether it is managed by us or in which we must participate, since one of the best ways to establish a security parameter in Zoom is by establishing a password. That is why when we enter the meeting ID we will see the following:
So if we do not have the password for that meeting we simply will not be able to access it, TechnoWikis will explain how to know what password you must enter in Zoom to actively participate in any meeting to which you have been invited.
Note
The password is created automatically by Zoom so there is no need for us to try to create it ourselves and in addition to it. The Zoom password will only be visible to the meeting host as it must be shared with other meeting participants.
