Maintaining Zoom Privacy
We recommend the following steps to help maintain the privacy of your Zoom meetings:
- Password protect your meeting.
- Only enable participant sharing when you have a need for it.
- Use a waiting room.
- Lock your meeting room after all students/participants have joined.
View best practices for maintaining Zoom privacy for step-by-step instructions on the above suggestions.
Keep these steps on stopping a Zoombombing handy so that you know what to do in the event that it happens during one of your meetings.
