Nice to Meet You – Getting to Know Zoom’s Settingsīefore we jump into some specific “how-to” tips, it’s important to go over the basics of Zoom settings. To give you some peace of mind, we’re sharing a few tips to help protect your meetings from random visitors. Over the past few weeks, Zoom users have reported everything from uninvited guests playing pranks during a meeting, to more serious offenses such as stolen information obtained during a private conversation. We all know that Zoom is a great software to help us adhere to social distancing guidelines, while still maintaining the personal touch that comes with in-person collaboration – but it’s equally important to consider that Zoom software, when not used correctly, can introduce cyber security risk. For many, this new routine involves hosting and attending Zoom meetings to connect virtually with colleagues and friends. If you can live without full end-to-end encryption-so you're essentially putting your trust in the software developer not to gather any more data than it needs to-then programs such as Skype (up to 50 people on a video call), Slack (up to 15 people on a video call with a paid plan), and Facebook Messenger (up to 50 people on a video call) are all options as well.With a few weeks of quarantine under our belts, we’re all finally settling into the new norm of COVID-19. Unlike Webex, there are no free plans, so you or your company will have to pay $12 a month and up for video calls with up to 150 different people. Like Webex, GoToMeeting has been in the virtual meeting business a long time, and includes end-to-end encryption as standard.
The free tier is quite generous at the moment, though we'll have to wait and see if it remains so after the current global pandemic has passed. Webex from Cisco is another group video calling tool that supports end-to-end encryption: It's a little business-focused, but you do get support for video calls of up to 100 people, and a lot of the same features that Zoom brings to the table.
