Click Security and click on Lock Meeting, if all your participants have joined. you can enable waiting room from here also. you can also disable share screen by users from here
Miscellaneous tips: Don't use your personal meeting Id (PMI) to host event, instead use randomly generated meeting IDs for each event. Don't share your link on public platform, instead share randomly generated meeting id and password for every new meeting session/schedule. It makes it much secure and difficult to leak. If you are admin, remember to end meeting, dont just leave meeting.
