We’re all probably thinking about inviting Zoom to our family reunions at this point, but you may also have heard about uninvited interruptions in Zoom conferences — also called “Zoombombing”. We also mentioned it in our “Stupid Zoom Tricks” post. We don’t think you have too much to worry about here, but we’ve heard that some people here at SMU have had unwanted guests in their classes. Most Zoom conferences have and will be free of uninvited guests. But if you are worried, Zoom has posted a great set of precautions to take to their company blog. In short, the areas you want to concentrate on are managing screensharing, managing your participants within the meeting, and consider turning on the “Waiting Room” for your meeting.
