Quick summary
Locking a Webex meeting lets the host prevent new participants from joining mid-session, keeping sensitive discussions private. Once locked, current attendees remain connected while uninvited guests are blocked from entering.
Steps
- Join your Webex meeting as the host to access host-level meeting controls.
- Open the participant panel by clicking the Participants icon at the bottom of the meeting window.
- Click the lock icon or select Lock Meeting from the meeting controls to prevent new participants from joining.
- Your meeting is now locked — current attendees stay connected, and no new participants can enter until you unlock it.
