New Zoom and Webex Updates – Action Required for scheduled Zoom meetings
On Thursday, May 21, 2020, Information Systems will be pushing a number of updates to Zoom and Webex to better align with best practices, including requiring meeting passwords, eliminating toll-free numbers, and limiting ways to sign in to Zoom.
Requiring Meeting Passwords. Beginning Thursday, passwords will be required for all Webex and Zoom meetings. Webex already requires meeting passwords, however, this change will make participants who join by phone enter a password. Webex meetings scheduled prior to the addition of phone passwords are not affected.
If you have not set a meeting password for meetings you already have scheduled in Zoom, you will need to edit the meeting to ensure there is a password and update calendar invitations.
