- Always log in to Zoom as the host of your own meeting
- While this may sound automatic, it is imperative to make sure that you actually are logged in with your Lehigh credentials when hosting a meeting to be sure that you actually have the role of host and the permissions that go with this role. The best ways to ensure this is to first log in to the Zoom client (if already installed on your device) or log in directly at https://lehigh.zoom.us and then select the current meeting you want to start as the host.
- Require a passcode to access your meeting
- This is the default security setting in place for any new Zoom meeting that you create. You can choose to use the default passcode or use either of the options detailed aboveadd a custom passcode as you're creating the session . A passcode can also be added to any meeting that you have already scheduled and use on an ongoing basis. A passcode is embedded into the meeting link. You only need to share the passcode to your audience, if you share the meeting ID instead of the link.
- Require users to log in (authenticate) to join Zoom meeting
- When you schedule a new Zoom session, use the "Require Authentication to Join" setting available in the "Security" settings area. You can edit and add the "Require Authentication to Join" requirement to any meeting that you have already scheduled and use on an ongoing basis. An authenticated user is anyone who has a verified Zoom account - they do not have to have a Lehigh-specific Zoom account.
- Use a waiting room
- When you schedule a new Zoom session, use the "Waiting Room" setting available in the "Security" settings area. A waiting room can also be added to any meeting that you have already scheduled and use on an ongoing basis. If you make use of the waiting room, you will need to monitor it throughout your class to admit anyone that arrives late or who may have left the session or then return.
