How to Remove Participants During a Zoom Meeting

Removing participants from a Zoom meeting is straightforward, especially for the host. Here’s a step-by-step guide:

Using the Desktop Application

Start the Meeting: Begin your Zoom session by either scheduling or starting an instant meeting.

1. Open Participants Panel: Click on the "Participants" button located in the meeting controls at the bottom of the Zoom window. This opens a sidebar listing all current attendees..

2. Locate the Participant: Scroll through the list to find the participant you wish to remove.

3. Remove the Participant: Hover over their name, and you will see an "More" button (three dots) appear next to the participant’s name. Click on this button, and then choose "Remove" from the dropdown menu.

4. Confirm Removal: Upon selecting "Remove," a confirmation message will pop up asking if you’re sure you want to remove the participant. Confirm your choice to complete the action.

5. Rejoin Link: Note that once removed, the participant will no longer have access to the meeting unless you provide them with a new invitation link.
