Zoombombing update

As an addendum to last week’s Zoombombing article, here’s another setting that should help people:

When scheduling a meeting, hosts can click the “Only Authenticated Users Can Join” button. That means that the user will have to be signed into the same Zoom license in order for them to immediately be able to join a meeting.

For instance if the host is on the main Emory account, only users signed into that account will be able to join the meeting directly. Everyone else will be shuffled to a waiting room to be let in by the host. For our environment, that would mean users in the HIPAA account and EHC account would be sent to the waiting room along with all outside users.
