Thanks buddy! My friend is a former partner of Ernst & Young with cyber security. We had a long discussion last night about these Zoom settings. Just shared this with him.

Thanks Steve. We have used Zoom for a few years now. We had already added most of the tweaks you suggested, but I spent a bit of time this morning going through my settings and doing just a bit of updating. I was pleased to see Zoom take of in popularity, and I have been impressed so far at how well they are managing the load and security concerns.

Thanks for following up on the Zoom breaches because it is an issue that is not very clear if it's a safe software or not but as you said one has to take steps into making their own meeting safe. Keep the videos coming.

Thanks to you for having done this video. It is the language of a man who knows the value of loving others. Love protects!

I love that you are secure enough in yourself and kind enough to share your mistakes. And your tips are always grounded in the real world. Good work!

Well done, Steve. I am from India. I hosted 18 zoom meetings last month and before the first few meetings some of my guests expressed reservations about the security aspects of Zoom. With the Dragon on the prowl this kinda reaction was expected. I allayed their fears, but took some of the precautions you outlined in this video. Everything went hunky Dory! Thanks for vindicating me & giving some more tips. Great job & keep Zooming 👍

Hi Steve! My husband puts all your videos up on our tv and we watch them together! You fixed my Facebook issues all the way helping me be able to sign in to my first Zoom meeting with ease and not worrying about being hacked. While I'm a nurse and don't really understand computers you put everything into a simple to follow way that I can understand and trust! I do the same thing for my patients! It's what makes a good person really great! Have a beautiful blessed day and thank you!!! PS~ I subscribed! :)

Excellent overview of security. I am new to Zoom, trying it out for the Sacramento German Genealogy Society. Your video page link was sent to me by a volunteer from a different local genealogical society who is doing the same. My settings were in sync with your guidelines - but I will be checking that file transfer is off. And your commentary about the waiting room was very useful - especially that attendees there being able to view but not participate in the meeting. I am developing plans for three meeting types - formal webinar (no audience participation), webinar Q&A session (controlled audience interaction) and committee meetings (free for all but all participants are known).

I've been enjoying your Zoom series and sharing it with my wife, Steve. Thanks for putting it together!

Hi Steve! You are a recent find (while researching WebEx) and I truly appreciate your wisdom and excellent teaching ability. I'm a long-time Zoom customer and appreciate how easy and clear you made this for us, and the tips shared. My concern is not about you, but about Zoom , as I'm shocked they 1) Did not consider security properly before getting busted 2) Have not been forthright about their issues (e.g., end-to-end encryption to Facebook data-sharing) 3) Without notice, discontinued their 24/7 phone support for all paid accounts (now only Business. AFter 4+ years of excellent phone customer support, I spent 8+ hours on LiveChat) Not feeling good about Zoom integrity and why we should believe they are taking care of things now? #zoomdoesnotcare

Thank you for this. I provide individual Zoom trainings like this & appreciate yours being thorough & engaging. I have only one issue with what Zoom & you are sharing: embedded passwords are useless. Zoom registration confirmations state “this link is unique to you. Do not share it.” False, anyone can use them. An embedded password is akin to leaving your house key in the front door lock. I prefer to put the key under the planter in the backyard, that is to say, sending the password under separate cover.

Shared, thanks.

Thanks Steve! I asked you about the security of Zoom and this video makes me feel more secure. Thanks. And thanks for shearing your Zoom bomb experience.

We (I am employed by a large international private school to teach mathematics), use the adobe connect platform as a teaching and learning environment, but due to its increased popularity at this moment in time connections can occasionally be overloaded. The direct result is that we have zoom as a back up just in case. Many of our staff are new to this, and it has been a struggle.

I was in a Zoom meeting with Mac users yesterday (16 hours ago) and we determined that we couldn't used File Sharing within Chat even though that setting had been available a week ago. The Zoom support section said we needed to be running version 4.6.10 to use that feature. At the time, though, the current version for the Mac was 4.6.9! Sometime in the last 14 hours, the 4.6.10 update was released & File Sharing is once again available in Chat.

Very useful. Thanks a lot ! Sylba

Hey Steve! I'm enjoying your easy to follow discussions regarding Zoom. Our university (I'm a manager for simulation program) has started using an integrated version of Zoom where it enhances both security and user management to emulate a telemedicine scenario. When schedules are created for simulation-based educational activities, when enabled, it also schedules and encrypts a URL for the Zoom interface. I've been asked about the question of security and privacy just as you have, and I have clarified that if configured correctly, Zoom settings can address such vulnerabilities. I think Zoom gets a bad rap simply because of uninformed responses to problems users have had. Quite often a negative experience in any context, not just Zoom, provides a user with fodder to toss some hate around. I'm not aware of any platform that does not inherently have some risk. It speaks to the need for the user to be as informed as is possible and do their due diligence. Gossip (uninformed communication based on hear-say) creates a greater risk for user and platform.

Your videos are a pleasure to watch. You're an excellent instructor, thanks. At 10:45 when you discuss Waiting Rooms you said that Participants in that Waiting Room can hear and see what's going on in the Meeting - but they're not able to engage with anyone. It's my understanding that this is incorrect - those in the Waiting Room only see the title, logo, and description for the meeting, provided the Host has elected to include those items in the Settings/Waiting Room option. Participants in the Waiting Room are essentially there in solitary confinement until the Host chooses to admit them to the meeting.

Hey Steve! literally less than 5 minutes after I watched your video yesterday about "Zoom bombing", I went outside the room and I saw my wife was waiting for the LIVE STREAMING on ZOOM and live-streaming it thru KZread. The speaker seems doesn't familiar with all the set up for live streaming. While he was setting up the Instagram video, the zoom already ON AIR, and I have a bad feeling that something crazy might appear on the screen as I see many activities happening on the screen (e.g. drawing, and random people's pictures), I saw the speaker didn't notice what was happening as he was on a phone call. I tried to contact the admin by texting the chat room on youtube live to warn him about the "Zoom bombing" that I had just literally watched 2 minutes ago. Before the admin read my text, a bad pic appeared. But at least finally, the admin notices it and told me that he will take it out, edit it and repost it online again. I never know about this zoom bombing two days ago, and now I am like a hero to the speaker's admin. But all this praise and thanks they give me should be credited to you, Steve! You made that video, and I watched it for the right moment and saved "the speaker's teachings" from eternal embarrassment online! Good job, Steve! I love all your videos. it's funny too!
