Full Description:
Some Zoom users may be experiencing difficulty joining meetings created between Monday, March 30, 2020, around 10:00am and Wednesday, April 1, 2020, around noon, that required attendees to be authenticated users. Meetings created during this window may have an incorrect user domain in the authenticated users option. Because of this, attendees will see the message “This meeting is for authorized users only,” when trying to join, even though they are properly logged in using Cornell Single Sign On.
Meeting hosts whose attendees encounter this problem can edit the meeting settings to use the correct domain for authentication. On the Edit Meeting screen, under Meeting options, if the “Only authenticated users may join” box is checked, the domain shown should be “cornell.edu”. Any other value should be corrected to “cornell.edu” and saved.
Also, hosts who made changes to their Zoom profile settings during the Monday-Wednesday window above should check for a similar issue in their Profile Settings. Under PERSONAL > Settings > Meeting > Only authenticated users can join meetings > Meeting Authentication Options > Cornell Users (Default) > Edit, the domain that shows under “Sign in to Zoom with the following specified domains” should be “cornell.edu.”
