How to Join a Zoom Meeting Anonymously
We encourage all member gatherings to be open to anyone without barriers or required profiles and registration. With a zoom hosting account, it is possible to require zoom registration or even restrict the list, but we discourage this practice as it drives away members who may have had less-than-ideal neighborhood experiences.
ZOOM - https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/4423305029389-Joining-a-Zoom-meeting-anonymously
MEET - Google meet does not allow anonymous guest logins. However, you can create a throw-away gmail account and use it to login to a google meeting (or login to a zoom meeting that requires a validated zoom account).
BUT WHAT ABOUT DISRUPTORS? With both zoom and meet, it is possible for the host to mute any participant who either talks over other people, is disruptive, or monopolizes all of the time. Prior to taking such a strong action, however, we have found that 90% of participants respond to a nice verbal request to let others speak, etc.
Zoom Live Transcription / Closed Captioning
Some of our members are hard of hearing, and sometimes the sound environments are pretty bad, so please enable "live transcription" if you are hosting an event with your personal zoom account
How to enable or disable the Live Transcription feature
Step 1: First you need to sign in to the Zoom web portal -- www.zoom.us
Step 2: Now, click on Settings, which is in the navigation menu.
Step 3: After that, you will have to click on the Meeting tab.
Step 4: In Meeting (Advanced), click Automated Captions toggle to enable or disable
