Require participants to register for your meeting
- When you schedule a new Zoom meeting, choose to require registration. This will allow you to collect names, email addresses, and other information about your event attendees and give you a sense of how many people will attend. See additional documentation on Using registration for meetings.
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 and then return.
Hold your event using a Zoom webinar rather than a Zoom meeting
- Zoom webinars allow event panelists and hosts to share their audio and video, while event attendees watch, listen, and interact through either text chat or Q&A limiting the ability of any attendee to disrupt your event. Lehigh has a limited number of webinar licenses that can be assigned to a user account for a specific event or timeframe. To request a license be assigned to your account, please submit a ticket to the Instructional Technology Team at go.lehigh.edu/help.
- Do not post the Zoom meeting links on public web sites or share on social media.
- Only share the Zoom meeting link on secure web sites behind authentication, such as your Course Site course, on Google Calendar, directly with participants via email. If you want to publicize the event, share only the meeting registration link.
