Zoom security recommended setting

Setting before the meeting

• Either Passcodes or waiting rooms are required by default for better security as of September 27, 2020. Please use both for better security.

• Authenticated users for meetings (optional): When opening the meeting link, users would need to sign into Zoom with their RWU credentials before they enter the Zoom meeting. Please make sure that students have a registered RWU account by following steps in this video or by pointing them to Zoom Tips for Students. If using preassigned breakout rooms, this is a useful setting as this ensures that the email accounts added in the preassigned breakout rooms match the participants in the Zoom meeting.

General

• Turn off Audio and Video as you enter meetings.

• Keep your microphone muted unless talking

• Do a test Zoom session to minimize any technical difficulties with your class.
