Protect your meeting

Never post links to open Zoom meetings, or links with embedded passwords, on public pages such as your calendar or schedule. An open Zoom meeting can be compromised by unwelcome participants who record the session or interfere with audio or video. There are several ways to protect your meeting:

Check that participants must register for the meeting (available in the web portal)
Require users to be logged in with a Zoom or JU account to join a meeting
Use a waiting room
