Owners and administrators of accounts can force future meetings to use Zoom Meetings as the topic and force future webinars to use Zoom Webinar as the topic. Furthermore, you can lock the description so that users cannot set a description for a meeting or a webinar.

This feature is useful when trying to prevent sensitive information from being entered as the topic or description in a meeting or webinar.

Prerequisites for locking the meeting/webinar topic or description

• Account owner or admin privileges
