This provides extra security for your Zoom space, especially when you post Zoom meeting ID#'s publicly. Request that interested attendees email or DM for the passcode, or embed the passcode in the Zoom link to enable a one-click join.
Hosts can control who enters or leaves the space using a virtual waiting room/lobby.
By default, users who authenticate via SeattleU SSO login are allowed to pass through waiting room (learn more about Waiting Room default settings). Hosts may change these settings as it suits their meetings.
This security measure prevents unauthorized users from joining the meeting & can help you anticipate how many people will be attending prior to your event.

Designate a co-host to help you coordinate/run the space, especially in case something goes wrong - like your wifi cutting out.
Some may feel uncomfortable or may have Zoom fatigue. Whatever the reason, we encourage you to welcome everyone in whatever capacity they show up in.
Encourage participants to engage with each other in a respectful manner, especially in the chat function. Establishing community guideline like “Don’t yuck my yum” or “One mic, one voice” can help create a welcoming environment.
This will help you regulate what visuals are being shared with the group & protect the security of everyone’s identity in the space.

This helps create an inclusive environment for people of all races, colors and/or gender identities. This can be done in personal settings.
We still physically occupy Indigenous land. Refer to SeattleU’s website to find SU’s land acknowledgement or encourage participants to visit native-land.ca.
Set each meeting to use a unique meeting ID instead of a personal meeting ID. This can also lower the opportunity for hackers to find and join your meetings.
Once all invitees are in the meeting, you can lock the meeting, which is an option under “Manage Participants.” “Locking” the meeting means you block out any newcomers from the meeting. This will ensure no uninvited guests show up.
If you need to unlock the meeting to add a guest in the middle of the meeting, you can do so. Then, be sure to lock the meeting again.
To take advantage of the many features Zoom has available, be sure to download the latest version of Zoom for every device you use for video meetings.
