Simple. Clear. Helpful. Thank you! I have been bombed twice so this was really good advice.

Good idea. Zoom bombing is really bad. We like the tips. We are on the safe side now. Thanks.

Hi Jason! Great job on the video; thank you for posting it!! I have a question regarding a technique you used in the video. I love your colored box based blurs you used while showing your personal meeting id and personal link. This is one of the cleanest approaches to blurring I've seen. If you wouldn't mind sharing, what did you use for it?

At first thanks for your tips!!
I felt in a trouble..sometimes an unwanted user enter in the meeting using the name of an authorised user. That unwanted participate want to disturb in the meeting and to fall in danger that person whose name is used for entering zoom. How to solve!?

Hi Jason, thanks for this - excellent video, even for those of us who don't work in an educational institution.
I do have a few questions on Zoom, I wondered if you could help? My questions are:

1. I've been checking the "Require passwords" option for all the Zoom meetings I host, but sometimes participants tell me that they CAN log in without a password. At first I thought this was because I'd been using my personal meeting id - I no longer do this - but I've been testing this out using generated meeting ids and found the same issue. Any ideas?


2. I email my invitations out (I communicate passwords separately), then when a invitee clicks on the link, they enter their name. There appears to be nothing to prevent them from entering a spurious name, is there any way to prevent this? (I'm concerned that is someone joins the meeting on an audio-only basis, he/she could pass themselves off as someone else)


3. Finally, is there any way I can prevent non-UK participants entering one of my Zoom meetings?

Thanks for any help!

Hi Jason, the features that you have explained, are they for the basic (free) users or the pro account (paid account)?

I do wonder how the "Only authenticate users can join: Sign in to Zoom" works... Those that mean that the link to a zoom meeting and password are not sufficient?. The student will need to have a zoom account (at least basic to get in)

Tip number 13. Is it for only paid version?
