Locking a meeting - Amazon Chime

Hosts, moderators, and delegates can lock meetings. When you lock a meeting, removed attendees can't rejoin the meeting. Also, uninvited and unauthenticated users can't join a locked meeting.

To lock a meeting
  1. In the left control bar, choose the More options menu ( An icon of a horizontal ellipsis. ).

  2. Choose Lock meeting

The following rules apply to your meeting when you lock the meeting:

  • If an attendee doesn't have an Amazon Chime account, or wasn't invited to the meeting, they receive a message that the meeting is locked if they try to join.

  • If an invited attendee signs into their Amazon Chime account, they can join the locked meeting. They can also drop and reconnect after you lock the meeting.

  • An attendee can join a locked meeting from an in-room conference system, or with the Dial-in or Switch to dial-in options. However, they must enter the 13-digit meeting ID from the Amazon Chime desktop or mobile client, or from the Amazon Chime web app.
