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.
