Zoom from the UH ITS System Information
Information Technology Services (ITS) has established a pilot program with the video conferencing provider called Zoom. Zoom may be used for hosting online meetings, webinars, advising, tutorials, online office hours, connecting with subject-matter experts, group work, and more. A Zoom user account is needed to schedule, host, or moderate a Zoom meeting. However, an account is not needed to attend a meeting.
A limited number of accounts are available therefore, please contact Tiana and or the Neva from Edvance to discuss the availability on your course content before deciding on this platform. However, if you are hosting 1-1, less than 100, and will be using less than 40 minutes then you are welcomed to sign up for a free account. But, keep in mind you will not have access to all of the features.
For more information on the transition to Zoom, please visit:
https://www.hawaii.edu/its/videoconferencing/zoomtransition/
Please read through the Zoom Terms and Conditions.
The timeframe for the account to be issued is about 2-3 days.

The good news is that there are steps you can take measures to help keep those unwanted hackers out of your important calls.
For a concise explanation of Zoom-bombing and how to configure your account and meeting settings to secure your meetings,

Zoom also continues to work on these issues. In the past few weeks they have implemented several changes including making meeting passwords and waiting rooms default settings. Most recently, they have added a new Security icon to the meeting host's toolbar to quickly find and enable many of Zoom’s in-meeting security features. Read Zoom Product Updates: New Security Toolbar Icon for Hosts, Meeting ID No Longer Displayed, posted on April 8th on Zoom's blog that discusses this new feature that will help make your meetings more private and secure.
But what should you do if someone Zoom-bombs your Zoom meeting?
Short of ending the meeting entirely, here are a few things you can do to try and get rid of them:
Mute them. Go to the Participants List, again scrolling down to the bottom, and click Mute All. This makes it so that everyone (including the unwelcome participant) can't use their microphone to disrupt your audio.
Lock them out. Go to the Participants List in the navigation sidebar, and scroll down to More. Click Lock Meeting to stop further participants from entering the meeting and then remove the participant
