How to Enable or Disable Zoom Audio Notifications for Meeting Joins and Leaves

As a seasoned Zoom user with years of remote work experience, I've relied on its audio chimes to stay alert during meetings. These 'ding dong' sounds play when someone joins or leaves, mimicking a doorbell—perfect for casual calls with friends, but disruptive in larger team sessions with frequent turnover.

Whether you want to turn them on for better awareness or off for uninterrupted focus, follow these straightforward steps based on Zoom's official settings.

• Open the Zoom app, click your profile icon (top right), and select Settings. Scroll to the bottom, click Show more settings to access the full browser-based options.
• Alternatively, log into zoom.us in your browser, then click Settings in the left sidebar.
• Under In Meeting (Basic) in the left menu, scroll to Sound notification when someone joins or leaves. Toggle it on or off as needed.

With it enabled, customize further: play for all participants or just hosts/co-hosts. You can also enable voice announcements for phone joiners. These tweaks ensure your meetings run smoothly and professionally.
