Note: If a Zoombomber disrupts your meeting, please report it to Zoom with “Zoombombing” as the subject.Just log into and go to the Meeting or Webinar tab. Click Schedule Meeting / Webinar. Under Meeting/Webinar options, check the Require authentication to Join box and select Sign in with account.

Although this feature is optional, we recommended that you enable it for any meeting where all participants have a University Computing Account to prevent unknown participants from joining. You can also require meeting attendees to sign in with their account to join your meeting. That includes trolls, who can then share or post inappropriate or offensive material (“Zoombombing”). If you share your meeting link on social media or other public platforms, anyone who sees the link will be able to join your meeting (unless you set a password for your meeting and share that privately with attendees). Whenever possible, distribute your Zoom meeting link only to those individuals who will be attending your class or meeting. Attendees have the ability to interact via Q&A, chat, and answering polling questions. Webinars are designed so that the host and any designated panelists can share their video, audio and screen with view-only attendees. Use meetings only for collaborative events with all participants being able to screen share, turn on their video and audio, and see who else is in attendance. The Meeting and Webinar platforms offer similar features and functionality but have some key differences. Here are some tips to ensure a positive experience for all your participants. With the sudden shift to online classes and working remotely, many in the University community are learning to host Zoom video conferences on the fly.
