Keep Meeting IDs Private

When you share your meeting link on social media or other public forums, that makes your event public. Anyone with the link can join your meeting.  Take the following measures to protect your meeting:

• Avoid using your Personal Meeting ID (PMI) to host public events. Your PMI is basically one continuous meeting and you don’t want random people crashing your personal virtual space after the party’s over. Learn about meeting IDs and how to generate a random meeting ID (at the 0:27 mark) in this video tutorial on Zoom's YouTube channel.
• Familiarize yourself with Zoom’s settings and features so you understand how to protect your virtual space when you need to. For example, the Waiting Room is an unbelievably helpful feature for hosts to control who comes and goes. (More on that below.)
• Consider setting a password for your meeting, or only allowing those who are logged into their LBL account to join your meeting.

Run a Security Check up 

Click the security button after your meeting begins to explore new features. You can quickly lock the meeting, enable the waiting room and manage participant sharing or chat permissions.
