For the purpose of this article, we will only discuss the settings you can find in your RingCentral Video meeting desktop app so you can protect your meetings via the RingCentral Video meeting security options.

- Use Personal Meeting ID for instant meetings: Once enabled, you can modify your Personal Meeting ID (PMI) for others to use to join the meeting instead of the default Meeting ID when starting an instant meeting
- Require password: Once enabled, you can edit your default password in the Set password field. See the list below for password policy:
- The password must be at least 1 to 10 characters long
- It must contain characters from the following categories: uppercase characters (A-Z), lowercase characters (a-z), digits (1-9)
- Please note that participants who join the meeting by clicking the invitation link can automatically join without the meeting password. However, participants who join the meeting via the meeting ID will be asked to enter a password.
- Participants can only join after host: Once enabled, participants need to wait for the meeting host before they can join the meeting. To know more, visit Allowing others to join before host in a RingCentral app desktop and web

- Advanced settings: Click the arrow to expand the following advanced settings:
- Only authenticated users can join: Allow only authenticated users to join your meeting. Options include Off, Signed in co-workers, and Signed in users
