Disable join before host: Deselect “Join Before Host” when setting up the meeting.Note: If your class has external participants, such as guest speakers, interpreters or captioners, do NOT check “Only authenticated users can join.” By clicking on the Zoom navigation item in your Canvas course, you may add this setting when scheduling new meetings or editing existing meetings by checking “Only authenticated users can join” in the Meeting Options section.

This is the most important setting to use to prevent meeting disruption. ( Note: It does not prevent UChicago students who are not registered for a class from joining.) Students who have not claimed a student Zoom account will have one automatically created when they are required to authenticate into Zoom for the first time for a meeting.

Enable only authenticated users to join: This option ensures that only users with UChicago Zoom accounts can attend your class.

This helps prevent accidental screen sharing by class or meeting participants.

Screen sharing: When hosting a meeting, click the Security button and then confirm that “Share Screen” is deselected.To stay secure while using Zoom for classes, please view this video tutorial Zoom Security Settings for Meetings Scheduled in Canvas.įor additional information about Zoom security, please consider the key settings outlined below:
