How to remove a participant from your Zoom meeting

You can remove any participant from your Zoom meeting using the Participant Management window. Once removed the participant will be unable to rejoin from the same devices/IP address. Any participant removed from a recurring Zoom meeting will be unable to join future meetings as well.
