How to turn on Authentication for a Zoom meeting activity in Myplace?

As a member of University Staff or as a Student, a Zoom account is provisioned for you using your University Email Address. Enabling Authentication allows hosts to restrict meeting participants to logged-in users only. This will restrict your participant list to verified users (users with Strathclyde University account).


Enabling Authentication

To enable only authenticated users can join meetings:

  • Go to your class site.
  • Add a Zoom Meeting activity or if you have already set up your meeting select Edit settings from the dropdown menu.
  • In the activity Settings under Meeting option, check Only authenticated users.

Note: If a participant tries to join the meeting in Myplace and is not logged into Zoom with the university account, they won't be able to join the meeting.




  • If you clicked on Save and Display you will see in the details of the meeting that Only authenticated users is enabled.



Looking for labels? They can now be found in the details panel on the floating action bar.
