Setting a ZOOM meeting to only authenticated users can join (CUHK only)

Introduction

By default, anyone who has the link and passcode of a Zoom meeting can join the meeting (or arrive at the waiting room of the meeting). You could set the meeting to 'Only authenticated users can join (CUHK only)', so participants will be required to sign in via CUHK Login page before joining the meeting. Also, the user information (e.g., name, email) will be captured in the reports.
