The Scary Zoom Setting Security Experts Say You Should Change IMMEDIATELY

When you use Zoom, it is easy to keep your call secure and private. You just have to remember which settings to select, or you could risk unwanted users joining a private conference. 

To prevent unwanted guests, the host of a Zoom meeting must remember select "Lock Meeting" after everyone has joined - and you have to remember to do this every time because you can't set it as a default.

Most Zoom meetings have a meeting ID and a password to enter but it is possible for someone, to get into a meeting that isn't meant for them. With the "Lock Meeting" setting activated, no one who isn't already in the meeting may join - even someone with the right meeting ID and password.

It is important to keep your Zoom meetings safe and secure to protect your own privacy, and the privacy of everyone else in your meeting. Remembering this one little trick can make a huge difference when promoting cyber security.
