To secure a Zoom session, either a passcode or waiting room is required on new Zoom meetings created in the umsystem.zoom.us and umsystemprotected.zoom.us domains. Beginning on Aug. 6, 2020, security options enabling waiting rooms and passcodes will be enabled by default.

Please refer to the Managing Zoom Security Options user guide for more details on navigating Zoom following this change and other recent security updates.
