Zoom Test US: Enhancing Meeting Security with Registration and Authentication

As you prepare for your next Zoom meeting, ensuring a secure and smooth experience for all attendees is crucial. In this article, we'll explore two essential features that can help you achieve just that - registration and authentication.

Registration: A Powerful Tool

When you enable registration for your meeting, each attendee will receive a unique link connected to their registration information. This feature offers numerous benefits, including:

* Identification of problematic links in case issues arise during the meeting

* Collection of attendee name and email addresses before providing them with a link

To get started, simply check or enable the 'Registration' option when scheduling your meeting. You can also require attendees to provide their name and email address before receiving a link.

Authentication: Ensuring Security

If your meeting includes non-Stony Brook attendees (or a mix of Stony Brook and non-Stony Brook attendees), you may want to consider disabling authentication to join. However, if your attendees will be exclusively Stony Brook staff, faculty, or students, requiring authentication is an excellent way to boost security.

To configure authentication settings in Zoom:

1. Log in to the Zoom web portal.

2. Click on 'Meetings' on the left-hand side of the page.

3. Find and hover over your meeting's name, then click 'Edit'.

4. Scroll down to the Meeting settings section.

From here, you can toggle the 'Require authentication to join' option on or off. Additionally, consider using one or more of the following options for enhanced security:

* Requiring a password

* Enabling two-factor authentication (2FA)

* Using a waiting room

By implementing these features, you'll be well on your way to hosting secure and productive Zoom meetings that meet your specific needs.

Remember to always prioritize security when conducting online meetings. By leveraging registration and authentication in your Zoom meetings, you can ensure a seamless experience for all attendees.
