Tips for safer Zoom Meetings Many members will have had the unfortunate experience of unwelcome attendees at zoom meetings. Zoom is a complex product with many tools to assist managing this problem. These are some best practices used by meetings: Always have a Host, by either logging into the zoom account or by using the "host key". Ensure new Hosts are adequately aware of the tools a Host has access to: Have at least one co-host so there is more than one member able to spot and act on any problematic behaviour. Co-hosts cannot access all host functions. Be a camera on meeting. Members can only turn cameras off by agreement of host/group. Enable Waiting Room. Allows screening of attendees. Hosts can turn on this feature or it can be turned on via the Zoom Account. Stop attendees changing their on-screen name Some unwelcome attendees keep changing their name to make them harder to track. This feature can be turned off on the zoom account. Hosts can change attendees name when required. Don't display meeting zoom password on your meeting webpage. This involves screening new attendees. Contact the webmaster to arrange this.
