Keeping your Zoom meetings safe and secure ensures the best possible experience for your attendees whether in virtual classrooms, office hours, or departmental meetings. Zoom has a number of ways to secure your meetings against uninvited guests. Here are some simple tips to protect yourself and your attendees from such intrusions:
-Do not share the details of your zoom session (such as the link to the meeting) in public spaces such as social media. In general, limit your communication to attendees to D2L or WCU email.
-For larger meetings, adjust your meeting security settings to allow only authenticated users to join.
-Avoid using your Personal Meeting Room for recurring sessions and meetings.
If you do end up with an uninvited guest or disruptive participant in your Zoom session, don't panic. You can take the following steps:
-Quickly suspend participant activities via the Security panel.
-Remove the uninvited guest via the Security or Participant panel. They will not be able to rejoin the existing session.
