Here are some measures to help protect yourself while using the Zoom online meeting platform.
- DO SIGN INTO YOUR ACCOUNT by going to https://zoom.us rather than using the app.
- DO CHECK THE SECURITY FEATURES for Your Account.
- DO NOT share ZOOM meeting numbers with anyone but the intended participants. Require a password but do not post the password anywhere on the Internet or on printed announcements.
- DO LOCK your meeting. Once the meeting has started you can prevent intruders by locking the meeting.
- DO WATCH FOR SECURITY BREECHES during a meeting. Check the list of participants to make sure only invited guests are there.
These are a few articles relating to protecting your ZOOM meetings.
- Updates and changes are ongoing, so check with the ZOOM Help Center.
