Zoom to require waiting rooms or passcodes

 Zoom to require all meetings have a Passcode or is Waiting Room enabled

UPDATE: THEY'VE CANCELLED THIS.

"Zoom has announced that they will not implement the security change that was previously announced for Sept. 27. It is, however, still important that all Zoom meetings be set to allow “Authenticated Users Only” to protect them from Zoom bombing by anonymous attendees."

Effective Sunday, Sept. 27, Zoom will require that all meetings have a passcode or is Waiting Room-enabled. These extra security measures give you control over your meeting security options while keeping the join experience as frictionless as possible.


For meetings that do not have either a Passcode or Waiting Room enabled by Sept. 27, Zoom will enable a Waiting Room for you.

You can customize the Waiting Room experience at http://click.zoom.us/e/84442/15-ac6e-491b-a594-548058954ad2/bltg91/2295773174?h=LewksRyI89DrXFYvokUztIqIxeF0t1ke6NkquiDaYak so individuals within your account or on an approved list of domains can bypass the Waiting Room and directly join the meeting.

You can find meetings that are scheduled without a Passcode or Waiting Rooms by pulling the report at http://click.zoom.us/e/84442/unt-report-meetingdetails-list/bltg93/2295773174?h=LewksRyI89DrXFYvokUztIqIxeF0t1ke6NkquiDaYak

Zoom has also improved Waiting Room notifications so the meeting host can now receive a visual and auditory notification that an attendee has entered the Waiting Room.
