Secure a Meeting or Class

To help keep your Zoom meetings safe from cybersecurity threats, 无码专区 requires you to enable one of the following three security options:

  • Require a passcode 
    Participants must have a passcode to join the meeting. This is the default setting for standard meetings. We recommend creating meetings in the Zoom App or Google Calendar, which embed the passcode in the meeting link. Participants can then join the meeting without entering the passcode themselves.
  • Enable waiting room
    Participants enter a virtual waiting room where they wait for the host to admit them. This is the default setting for meetings hosted with your Personal Meeting ID (PMI).
  • Admit only authenticated participants
    Only participants who have signed into Zoom via 无码专区 Web Login can enter the meeting. Hosts can also opt to admit participants signed in to any Zoom account. We do not recommend using this option if you frequently meet with people from outside the university.

Additionally, only the host can share their screen in a meeting unless they update their

Though these security features will protect your meetings from common threats, we strongly discourage you from sharing Zoom meeting details publicly to prevent unwanted guests from attending.
