I continue having a strange problem where zoom tells me the password is wrong when trying to join a meeting. The password is just 1 character long not very secure, I know, but not my choice, and it's a meeting open to the general public in my area anyways , so I'm not typing it in wrong.
Additionally, if I open the meeting in the web browser same computer, keyboard, etc I can join, but only in the browswer, If I click to open the Zoom Client it doesn't work. Using the same account on my phone works too. Interestingly, in the meeting history drop down, the meeting will initially show up as usual ie with the name "Weekly Information Meeting".
Then after choosing it, inputting the correct password, and being told the password is wrong, the name changes on the history drop down to the generic "Zoom Meeting". This seems to be related to the Client itself. Interestingly, it happens most often after I update Zoom. Also, after a time, maybe an hour, often I can connect successfully with all the same credentials. Hey Jason , strange! I was able to create a test meeting with a 1 character password and join..
You could always save your meeting as a meeting template and recreate a new meeting to see if that resolves your issue as well. The only reason I mentioned the password being 1 character was to show that it is not just a problem with entering the password incorrectly. It should be noted this problem has happened with longer passwords as well. It's not restricted to just one host, leading me to believe that it's not a problem with the host's settings.
In addition, using my wife's computer also windows 10, same zoom version as me, both of the up to date I'm able to get into the meeting just fine. I have not had this problem when clicking on a direct link in email, etc , maybe because then there is no need to enter the password.
However, in most of the zoom meetings I attend, the host cannot send an invite, there are too many people and it's a meeting open to the public. That is out of my hands. I must enter the zoom ID and password. Since the history of the zoom meeting still shows up with the correct number, but with the name of the meeting changed to just 'zoom meeting' , it makes me think there is some problem with a cache issue on the windows version.
On my phone I can clear the cache easily, but there seems to be no way to do so on windows. I can clear the history which does not fix the problem as stated above. Finally, very very strangely, I can usually attend after a short time, maybe 30 minutes to an hour later.
If I just keep trying to join, eventually it will let me. We are having the same problem and it does look like a client problem. I can not log in using the password from another organization but if i go to a browser it allows me to log in but then lose my "profile settings, backgrounds etc" Updating the client and other troubleshooting does not resolve.
Any thoughts from Zoom? Looks like clearing the cache resolves this issue. I had to enable zoom apps and then go to clear cache to access and clear. Then restart and now works. I had this similar issue today which is how I found your comment because I was invited to join a meeting and I had the correct ID and password and was logging in through my PC and it kept saying the password was incorrect but when I logged in through my tablet it allowed me to log in to the meeting.
To resolve the issue you may want to have the host send you a direct invite. Zoom Community. Supporting a Hybrid-friendly Work Environment Explore products and tools for seamless collaboration across office and home working spaces.

- Can i join zoom meeting with meeting id and password - none:
Previously scheduled meetings including those scheduled via your Personal Meeting ID will have passwords enabled. So you can't now just join a meeting with the Meeting ID - you need the password number as well.
If your attendees are joining via a meeting link web address and have a Zoom account there is no change. For meetings scheduled from now on, the meeting password can be found in the invitation. And if you create an instant meeting an impromptu meet without an invitation , the password will be shown in the Zoom client in case you want others to join. The Virtual Waiting Room has always been there, but many people have turned it off in the past.
It's now on by default, again to ensure people in the meeting are the people you actually want in the meeting. The feature is exactly as it sounds - a holding pen for people joining a meeting. The host then has to let them in when they are ready. The downside of this is that you might not realise that people are waiting, so as a host you need to watch out for them, so make sure you keep an eye out for that.
To admit participants into a meeting, a host needs to select Manage Participants top right to view the full list of participants. You can then admit individually by selecting the blue Admit button or all at once with the Admit All option. Learn more Home Apps App news. Symptom 1 is identical, however if the other side logs in first using my personal meeting room, then they get stuck with, "Waiting for the host to start the meeting" which never changes when I do.
If I restart the meeting then the attendee then gets the message that I'm in another meeting when I'm not. Very frustrating!! I am unable to start meetings that I have originated I am the host and I am unable to join meetings. The response I receive says Start new meeting? You will have to leave this meeting to start the new meeting.
However, I am not in a meeting. None of these actions have changed the status of the issue. I cannot join Zoom links that I have originated nor can I join others. I continue to get this message and cannot seem to address the status which says I am in another meeting. I only have Zoom installed on one device and so it's been totally frustrating to try to get this figured out.
Chatting in the support function only adds to the frustration. I did submit a Zoom support ticket. Very frustrating! I was able to get support on this from Zoom and they found the problem. There's a toggle buried deep in the settings that allows us to start a meeting using our PMID Personal Meeting ID and for no apparent reason, mine had been turned off.
It sounds like Zoom turned a lot of ours off! Read this:. Zoom Community.
