Information on how to keep Zoom Sessions secure. Below is a list of recommendations that will help to ensure that all your Zoom meetings are safe and secure. Before a Session: To protect your personal IP address details, connect to the Virtual Private Network (VPN) before using Zoom. Password is always required (this is created by default). The password MUST be sent separately from the joining code/link. The meeting password should NEVER be shared on social media. Set meeting appointments you create (e.g. in an Outlook calendar) to be private. Limit who you share the meeting link with. Where possible, ensure everyone is using the most up-to-date version of Zoom. Waiting Room is enabled by default. Ensure “Allow Removed Participants to Rejoin” is disabled so that any expelled attendees cannot regain access. Further Security Information can be found on the Zoom Help and Support pages.
