Recommended Account Settings
Since there has been a large increase in those hosting Zoom Meetings, internet trolls have been "Zoombombing" public meetings by sharing their screen and playing disturbing, pornographic, or violent content. The following simple settings changes will prevent this from being able to happen.
In your Zoom settings:
- Disable “Join Before Host” so people can’t cause trouble before you arrive. (Default Setting)
- Change screen sharing to “Host Only.”
- Enabling “Co-Host” so you can assign your TA or other trusted person to help moderate.
- Disable “File Transfer” so there’s no digital virus sharing.
- Disable “Allow Removed Participants to Rejoin” so booted attendees can’t slip back in. (Default Setting)
