How to use Zoom securely
There's been a barrage of bad press in recent months surrounding the popular virtual meeting software Zoom. The lockdown saw a massive push for many to start using different software to communicate and collaborate with colleagues.
URL Security
First and foremost - never publish a meeting room link publicly. Any time you create a new Zoom meeting, a meeting room URL is generated. This URL is unique to your account - the problem arises when someone finds that URL that's not necessarily invited to the meeting.
Waiting Room
One of the newest features Zoom has created to help combat the issue of unannounced visitors to your meeting is a waiting room. When creating a new meeting, the option will now automatically be ticked to enable the waiting room.
Passwords
Always enable meeting passwords and only share them with intended participants.
