Scheduled Mason Zoom meetings with default meeting settings do not require Mason/Zoom authentication to join meetings. When scheduling, a host or professor may choose this option to further protect the integrity of the meeting. Unauthenticated attendees may receive the error, “This meeting is for authorized attendees only.” This is received because the meeting host chose one of two authentication options:

• Require authentication to join: Zoom account must be a Mason email
• Require authentication to join: Sign in to Zoom

To correct both of these requirements, log in to your Zoom application via SSO to view the instructions. If you are already signed into Zoom with a 3rd party email address, select sign out (or switch account) and complete the proceeding instructions.

Security is everyone’s responsibility. We would suggest that hosts notify their attendees of this meeting requirement in advance. Attendees should notify their host if this requirement was unexpected or previously uncommunicated to them.
