How to prevent Zoombombing in your video chats in 4 steps

There are some easy settings you can change before your Zoom meeting begins that will allow you to reduce the likelihood of intrusion by uninvited guests, and generally bolster your privacy overall. 

1. Don't use your Personal Meeting ID for the meeting. Instead, use a per-meeting ID, exclusive to a single meeting. 

2. Always use a meeting password 

3. Enable the "Waiting Room" feature so that you can see who is attempting to join the meeting before allowing them access. 

4. Once the meeting begins and everyone is in, lock the meeting to outsiders 

 

Optional

Disable other options, including the ability for others to Join Before Host, screen-sharing for nonhosts, and also the remote-control function. Finally, disable all file transferring, annotations and the autosave feature for chats.
