Administrators can customize a disclaimer that appears when users begin or join a meeting or webinar, as well as sign into their accounts through the web portal, the desktop client or the mobile app. The disclaimer must be accepted by the users, otherwise, if they click Cancel in the disclaimer, they will not be able to join the session, sign in, or start the session.

A disclaimer will be shown to users every time the account owner or admin chooses to update the disclaimer, and then the disclaimer will be shown again after a specified amount of time.

Additionally, it is possible to view a report of your user’s disclaimer activity and to customize your disclaimer for recording purposes.

There are a few things you have to consider before you can create a custom disclaimer for sign-ins, meetings, and webinars

• Having administrative privileges on an account or being the account owner
• A free account can be obtained with a credit card, business, education, or enterprise account, or through an API Partner Account
• You cannot see the disclaimer when you are not participating in the meeting or webinar, or if you are not using the desktop client, mobile app, or web client.
• Zoom website users, desktop clients, and mobile app users must be logged in to the Zoom web portal, desktop client, or mobile app to see the disclaimer.
