How to Use Zoom as a Conference Participant 
 

Zoom is a Web/Video conferencing option by TRB and the NASEM. We use many tools to help minimize security risks for all meetings and conferences held over Zoom such as:
 

  • A password is required. 
  • Passwords are required for new recordings in the cloud. 
  • Enabled Waiting Room. Only the Host can allow attendees into the meeting.
  • Screen sharing is set to "Host Only."  The host can share co-host permission with presenters.
  • Mute all participants and disallow video. Host can share co-host audio/video with presenters.
  • Disabled "Join Before Host" so people can't cause trouble before the Host arrives. 
  • Chat is disabled for private use; participants can chat to host. 
  • Disabled "File Transfer" so there's no digital virus sharing. 
  • Disabled "Allow Removed Participants to Rejoin" so evicted attendees can't rejoin.

Before attending the virual meeting or conference, please ensure that you are using the latest version of Zoom
