What Zoom settings should I use for my virtual meeting?

Considering the mitigation that Zoom has put in and how it has addressed all major concerns, it is our opinion that the usability and functionality of this platform gives, that allows us to continue ‘business as usual’ outweighs the residual privacy risks of the platform. Walsh's Learning to Achieve recommends that you use the platform with the following restrictions:

• All meetings use a password

• All meetings use the waiting room function

• Where users have access to "Pro" and "Business" plans, they should be logged in to utilise enhanced security and administration features - rather than using free, "Personal" accounts

• If a meeting needs to take place with a ‘dial in user’ all users should be informed that this part of the conversation is not encrypted

• If any participants are not happy an alternative will be found

*We'll keep monitoring the situation and as the facts change, so may our recommendations.
