Secure your Zoom Meeting

We highly encourage our community to do everything possible to secure their meetings, participants, and data. Follow the link in this article for information on how to secure meetings in Zoom.

Environment

Zoom at U-M

Issue

Zoombombing is a form of trolling that disrupts online meetings and classes with disturbing language or images through screen sharing, chat, or Q&A responses.  U-M has taken some proactive measures to ensure our meetings, classes, and community are protected, but securing Zoom meetings and webinars is a shared responsibility, and hosts especially have a role to play to ensure Zoom sessions are appropriately protected.
