    I also need the ability to turn this off. The passcode adds no value since I must also Approve any user that joins. An extra code only makes it harder for users with no security benefit at all.

  • To my knowledge, there is not a control to disable that function. Might I ask we you want to disable it?

      jcgonzalezmartin I am trying to run an online class that meets three times a week. Students need the passcode to access assignments and files. As far as I can tell, they have to enter a passcode for each meeting, even though I scheduled all three meetings at one time in the calendar. It is very inconvenient for them and me to have to enter a passcode for each and every meeting. Microsoft should implement a way to turn the passcode off!

      Our company have some visually impaired where having to add extra codes when joining a meeting makes it a bit harder to join a meeting, the ability to disable/enable this function on a group level would be greate or atleast be able to disable this org wide until you have implemented a more detailed funtionality for enable/disable this function  jcgonzalezmartin

        Yes, we are bringing it up in our meeting now.  We have many constituents that have disabilities and this might make them want to turn to Zoom which is more accessible.  Is there anyway to disable this as an admin?
