Recommended Account and Meeting Settings

On March 26th, 2020, Zoom updated what features are turned on/off by default to help combat "zoombombing" and while some of these settings are enabled/disabled by default, we strongly suggest reviewing your settings in detail before launching your first Zoom meeting. ITS strongly recommends all users follow the guidelines found on the Securing Zoom Meetings page.
