Safety
Zoom-Client
- Only download the zoom client from the Official website.
- Always use the latest version of the Zoom-Clients.
Meeting-ID
- Do NOT use your personal meeting ID, but create a new meeting.
- Do not share meeting IDs publicly.
Hold a meeting
For Jade HS, Zoom is configured to set a password for meetings by default. (If using via Moodle, the password does not need to be provided).
- Do NOT allow people to enter the meeting before the host is present.
- You can close ongoing meetings.
- You can activate a “Waiting room”. New participants can only enter the meeting after approval.
- Restrict the “Share Screen” options (share screen): “Only Host” and “One Participant”.
Record meeting
- Only record meetings if it is necessary.
- Inform participants before each recording and obtain their consent (this is done automatically by the system).
End-to-end encryption
End-to-end encryption offers complete encryption of meeting content between users so that no third parties (including Zoom itself) can view the meetings.
The option for end-to-end encryption is activated and can be used by hosts. As this function is currently still limited in its function, “Extended encryption” is currently activated, which stores encryption keys in the cloud.
When scheduling a meeting in the Zoom client, select the option “End-to-end encryption”.
All users need the Zoom client from version 5.5.0 (Windows/Linux/iOS/Android) or 5.4.6 (Mac OS): Client version.
End-to-end encryption cannot be activated when participating in the browser. The following functions are not available when using end-to-end encryption:
- “Allow participation before host” is not possible
- no breakout rooms
- no voting
- No telephone dial-in or dial-in via SIP/H.323
