Hi @ktremblay, Good question—if you wish to disable registration, you can do so via the [Create Meeting Endpoint](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/zoom-api/meetings/meetingcreate#request-body) when you initially create it, by setting the `"approval_type"` to `2` in the `"settings"` object of the request body. ![Screen Shot 2019-12-26 at 10.31.28 AM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/zoomdeveloper/original/2X/4/40ee8e00b821560bb9555a9256b5574f86fc699f.png) For an existing meeting, you can use the [Update Meeting](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/zoom-api/meetings/meetingupdate) endpoint. Hope this helps! Best, Will ---

Ok, but what if I don’t want the host to admit the attendee? ---

Hi @ktremblay, Have you considered turning on a [waiting room](https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/115000332726-Waiting-Room#:~:text=Overview,admit%20them%20all%20at%20once.)? This would allow the host to admit individuals when they join the meeting. Thanks, Will ---

Hey @ktremblay, If you’re looking to have users automatically join meetings, you’ll want to disable registration and waiting rooms as well as enable the ability for users to join before the host. This can all be done through the meeting settings in your Zoom portal as well as the settings of the Create Meeting API. If that doesn’t work for you, please provide more information on the use-case you have and any issues you’re encountering. Thanks, Max ---

Hey @ktremblay, That’s correct! If you disable the waiting room, join before host and registration that will allow users to automatically join the meeting when they click the join URL. Let me know if you have any further questions. I hope that’s helpful. Thanks, Max ---
