This typically occurs with meetings where the link is posted in a public place but can happen other ways, too. This article covers: Download and Update Zoom Client Securing Public Meetings and Class Sessions Restrict Access to Authenticated Users Managing Video and Screen Sharing Reporting a Zoom Bombing Incident
Download and Update Zoom ClientWe recommend that you make sure your internet browser and the zoom client are up to date. Securing Public Meetings and Class SessionsIf you post your meeting information on a website or share it via email, there’s a chance that the link could be accessed or shared with someone you don’t want in your meeting. If you need to share your meeting link publicly, try to remember the following:
Require Meeting PasswordFor an added level of security, you can require a password for students to access your meetings. When you’re scheduling a meeting, you’ll see Require meeting password in the meeting options. To enable a meeting password:
Restrict Access to Authenticated UsersThis setting is available when scheduling meetings and restricts access to only authenticated users who are signed in to Zoom with their lanecc.edu or my.lanecc.edu login. Check the box next to Only authenticated users can join: lanecc.edu and my.lanecc.edu ONLY. Managing participantsThere’s already enough on your plate without having to micromanage your participants. Fortunately, there are a few tips that will actually help you manage normal participants and also help you when you have an unwanted guest.
Managing ChatChat is a very useful feature, but also a place for distracting side conversations. You can disable the chat if it is distracting or getting out of control.
Managing Video and Screen SharingBy default, Zoom now defaults to only the Host having access to share their screen. This is a positive step in reducing disruptions but means you have to take a few extra steps to enable sharing with participants you want to interact with.
Using Waiting RoomsWaiting rooms are a way to give you more control over who joins your meeting and when. You will need to select Enable waiting room when you schedule a meeting. Then, when you’re in a meeting, you’ll see a notice in the participant window that shows when students are waiting to join. With a waiting room, you can:
If you have waiting rooms enabled, you can also send someone back to the waiting room. It’s much like putting someone on hold.
Using the Security ButtonZoom recently added a Security button to the bottom of the toolbar. This panel provides quick access to turn on/off several security settings. It is suggested to not allow students to Share Screen, Chat, or Rename Themselves for optimal security and control.
