New Zoom Security Button in Recent Update

In a recent update during the week of April 6, Zoom has consolidated access to many security features in one place: a “Security” button in the host’s (and co-host’s) toolbar. This gives the (co-)host the ability to toggle various security features during a meeting.

1. Click the “Security” button on the toolbar.

2. Security options will appear. Toggle them on/off as desired.

If you check "Lock Meeting" no one can subsequently enter the meeting.

If you enable the waiting room, participants can still enter the meeting, but will need your approval to do so.

The CLA Language Center continues to monitor security updates available in Zoom. Keeping unwanted people and content out of remote classrooms is of the utmost importance.
