We’re kicking off the fall semester with a lineup of new and exciting Zoom for Education features to enhance student engagement and classroom management. In line with our commitment to ensuring quality virtual education is accessible for teachers and students everywhere, these features will be made available on our free and Zoom for Education plans.
It’s also a good time to remind educators about the best ways to prevent unwanted visitors from disrupting your virtual classroom and for protecting your students’ privacy using Zoom’s security features.
Secure your Zoom classroom
We want a positive experience for you and your students on Zoom. Here are a few ways to ensure a secure virtual classroom experience:
Get a head start by setting your meeting controls before class begins
Meeting controls found in your Zoom settings that will help minimize disruptions:
- Restrict annotation to prevent students from annotating on shared content or show the names of individuals annotating
- Disable “Join before host” so students can’t join a meeting before you start it
- Require a meeting passcode to join
- Allow only authenticated users to join, which requires participants to be signed into their Zoom account with your school’s domain to join
- Disable screen sharing for users (participants must ask for permission to share)
