Video: the default settings are for both the host and participants video to be off by default. This is the recommended setting.

Meeting options:
Require a meeting password: enabling this would require users to enter a password that you will need to share with attendees.
Enable join before host: enabling this allows participants to access the meeting before you do. Disabling this will keep participants out of the meeting until you join.
Mute participants upon entry: enabling this will keep participants on mute when they enter until they un-mute themselves. Disabling this will un-mute all participants upon entry until they mute themselves.
Enable waiting room: enabling the waiting room will put all students into a waiting room until you as the host invite them in one at a time or all at once. This is a useful setting when scheduling virtual office hours.
Record the meeting automatically: enabling this will start recording the meeting as soon as you join. Disabling this allows you to control when and if you choose to record the meeting
