Passcodes and Waiting Rooms - The easiest way to secure your meeting
A Passcode adds an additional level of protection to your Zoom Meeting. The passcode often appears as a change in the link to the meeting:
Example Zoom link without a password: rider.zoom.us/j/357049427
Example Zoom link with a password: rider.zoom.us/j/357049427?pwd=VFZXTFpHNW8ydlJMb1pEeEFfdrtUdz09
By default, your Rider Zoom account will automatically set a passcode for each meeting that is scheduled.
To ensure this setting is enabled, navigate to rider.zoom.us and view your upcoming meetings. Any meetings that do not have a passcode or waiting room enabled will appear with a red exclamation point in the Title.
The Waiting Room feature allows the host to control when a participant joins the meeting. As the meeting host, you can admit attendees one by one, or hold all attendees in the Waiting Room and admit them all at once.
Instructors can designate a GA or another student co-host to admit students from the Waiting Room into the class.
Zoom is constantly releasing updates to the desktop and mobile applications to enhance security and introduce new features. Zoom will not notify you of every update, but to stay up to date, we recommend “Checking for Updates” regularly.
The simplest method for adding passcodes for your previously scheduled Google calendar meetings is to simply recreate the meeting. All new meetings will have passwords enabled.
For calendar designates such as someone in an administrative role, this is also the case
I have a student who is having connection issues and frequently drops out of the class meeting. What can we do to help?
If a student is having connection issues, please ask them to inform the OIT Helpdesk ([email protected]). OIT will work with the student to help mitigate connectivity issues.
