This article will focus on the security and privacy aspects of zoom and show you to safeguard your privacy and that of your students in this new format.\u00a0 The same options that enable Zoom’s powerful collaboration can potentially be used against us if not configured correctly. I’m sure many of you have seen headlines about Zoom bombing.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Zoom bombing is the term for when unwanted and uninvited people enter your meeting.\u00a0 These uninvited guests share their screens to bombard real attendees with content that is offensive and disturbing. Many of these incidents could be prevented by using zooms built-in security features. Here are ways to protect you and your participants from falling victim.<\/p>\n

Reminder: Don’t share your meeting link publically<\/strong><\/h4>\n

The primary method to keep unwanted people out is not to put your link where unwanted people can find it. If you share your meeting link on social media or another public location, anyone with the link can join your meeting. We recommend only sharing your links via Blackboard or other places that are protected by an HVCC username and password.<\/p>\n

Manage screen sharing<\/strong><\/h4>\n

The first rule of Zoom privacy: Don\u2019t give up control of your screen.<\/p>\n

You do not<\/em> want random people in your meeting or course to take control of the screen and share unwanted content with the group. You can restrict this \u2014 before the meeting and<\/em> during the meeting in the host control bar \u2014 so that you\u2019re the only one who can screen-share. By default, HVCC meetings are configured to require host permission to share to the screen, draw on the whiteboard, or annotate documents. These options are configurable, however, and you can change them in an individual meeting, or across all of your meetings.<\/p>\n

To prevent participants from screen sharing during a call, using the host controls at the bottom, click the arrow next to Share Screen and then Advanced Sharing Options.<\/p>\n

\"Advanced<\/a><\/p>\n

Under \u201cWho can share?,\u201d choose \u201cOnly Host\u201d and close the window. You can also lock the Screen Share by default for all your meetings in your web settings.<\/p>\n
