Guest access is disabled by default in course rooms and individual sessions by default as of September 2020.



The guest link should NOT be shared with students. A guest link is open to anyone, which means anyone can enter your session and disrupt your virtual class. Share the guest link with trusted visitors and direct students to use the join link provide in the course. See → How do students access my Class Collaborate session or course room?
