Meeting invitations can be sent as links with an encrypted version of the password, what Zoom calls ‘One-Click Join’. Require password for participants joining by phone.Require a password for instant meetings.Require a password when scheduling new meetings / webinars.Now these options are forced on at all times (for free/Basic and single user accounts). Some Zoom password settings defaulted on but hosts could disable them. If the meeting ID and password don’t change, an intruder could access future meetings with the same settings. The password can and should be changed for each meeting or at least on a regular basis (every few days). They are not requiring the meeting password to be changed. Zoom’s change only goes part way to securing a meeting. We suggest a step beyond Zoom’s new settings. That also applies to meetings shared via calendar integration. Or sharing meeting ID’s found online.įor meetings already scheduled with a PMI (Personal Meeting ID) you’ll need to share the new password either directly or send a new meeting link (which has an encrypted password included). Hackers and intruders are just trying random meeting ID (a nine digit code) until they find a live and unprotected meeting to join. Anyone who finds that ID can join a non-passworded future meeting. That’s important because free accounts have a single, unchanging Personal Meeting ID. The same applies to accounts with a single licensed user. Meeting Passwordsīasic (free) accounts must now set a password for all meetings. Waiting Room is a good idea for larger groups when it’s hard to keep track of who is in the meeting or class. The password requirement is good but doesn’t go far enough, we’ll explain why and what to do. Passwords must be set for all meetings and the Waiting Room is now on by default. There’s more for a Zoom host should do to protect their meetings, classes and calls. Zoom has changed some meeting defaults to make their group calls, webinars, classes etc a bit more secure from intruders.
