8. If you wish to copy the link to share via email, select Copy link at the top of the meeting page.

There are multiple settings in meeting options. Some of these include:

• Who can bypass the lobby? - this controls who can access your meeting directly by clicking the link you have shared, and who needs to wait to be admitted.
• Who can present? - this controls the meeting role that is assigned when people join your meeting. If you would like to restrict who can present, you can change this setting.
• Meeting chat - this controls whether there is a chat for the meeting, and whether it is just for the duration of the meeting or always on.
