Locking the meeting/webinar topic or description

Account owners and admins can force all meetings to use Zoom Meetings as the topic and force all webinars to use Zoom Webinars as the topic. You can also lock the description so that users can't set a description for meetings or webinars.

This feature is useful when trying to prevent sensitive information from being entered as the topic or description in a meeting or webinar.

Requirements for locking the meeting/webinar topic or description

• Account owner or admin privileges
