Zoom meetings can be used for meeting virtually, producing a webcast, giving a lecture remotely, and for many other uses.
While the meeting is in progress, you can use the security button on the menu bar to restrict participants' access to audio and image.
Zoom - The Security icon in the meeting controls allows the host or co-host of a meeting to enable or disable options during a meeting to secure the meeting and minimize disruption during the meeting.
Lock Meeting: Locks the meeting, keeping new participants from joining the meeting.
Enable Waiting Room: Enables Waiting Room for incoming new participants or to move current participants into the Waiting Room.
Remove Participant: Allows the removal of a participant from a meeting. The participant can not re-join unless Allow removed participants to rejoin is enabled in Meeting Setting.
Suspend Participant Activities: Turn off all participant's video, audio, and ability to share their screen. Also lock the meeting to prevent new participants from joining.

Zoom etiquette:
Two general rules:
1) Keep your audio on mute if not talking. That decreases the background noise.
2) Use headphones. That helps with the problem of nasty feedback echoes.

Security and restriction of participation:
While the meeting is in progress, you can use the security button on the menu bar to restrict participants' access to audio and image.
Co-hosts are not restricted by these settings.
The same menu also provides a setting for activating the waiting room and locking the meeting, so that new attendees are no longer allowed in.
