2. Scroll down to “Only Authenticated Users can join” and make sure it is selected.

3. If you click on the down arrow in the box below you will have two options you can select from:

               b. “CCC users”- This will allow ONLY CCC accounts that are logged into their Zoom account to join your Zoom meeting.
