– Effective January 12, 2024: All student Zoom accounts will be required to use one of the following meeting security options on all hosted meetings: a passcode, Waiting Room, or authentication to join. This new policy is being enforced to ensure that meetings hosted within the student instance of Zoom are secure and protected from uninvited guests, particularly meetings that are scheduled and/or integrated with third party applications (such as Calendly).

Please note:

• If you do not select your preferred security option when scheduling, Zoom will secure all meetings with the Waiting Room by default.
• This requirement will also apply to any previously scheduled meetings within each student’s Zoom account. If already scheduled meetings are not updated accordingly, the Waiting Room will be enabled automatically.
• Please review the differences between the different security options by reviewing the support guide on Securing your Zoom Meetings.

Zoom has introduced a new meeting “Join Flow” that streamlines the user experience when joining meetings. Currently, users see up to three separate dialogue windows before entering a meeting:

• “Please wait for the host to join”, if the host has not started the meeting
• The video preview window, if the participant has this setting enabled, and/or,
• The Waiting Room

With the new join flow, the functionality of the “waiting for host” window is combined with the Waiting Room window. If the video preview is enabled within a participant’s video settings, they will also have the ability to preview their video before entering the meeting.

The new join flow is available now and can be enabled ahead of the enforcement. Users interested in enabling this feature will need to log in at the web and navigate to Settings > Meeting > Security > New waiting room and join before host experience.

Have additional questions or need more information? Please see Zoom’s New Meeting Join Flow support page.

– Effective July 16, 2021:

We are excited to announce that alternative hosting and designated scheduling are now supported for all Licensed users within the JH Zoom Enterprise. Users can now assign other members to serve as alternative host(s) and/or designated scheduler(s), regardless of what subaccount/instance of Zoom their account resides in. Additional details for each of these features are outlined on Zoom’s related support articles below:

• Alternative Hosting
• Designated Scheduling

When assigning alternative host(s) or designated scheduler(s) within your account, it is imperative to use the correct email address of the assignee. Below, you will find the typical email format associated with each account type when searching for users.

If you are having trouble locating the account, we recommend the following:

• Search using first and last name
• Search using JHED ID with the at symbol appended at the end (e.g. ‘JHEDID@’)
• Ensure that the user you are attempting to assign is Licensed (Basic/free users cannot serve as alternative host(s) or designated scheduler(s))
• Please Note: Internet Explorer is not a supported browser and may be unable to locate the user in the search results. Use either Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Edge, or Safari when searching

For more details and information on how to utilize these features, please visit Faculty and Staff Zoom Support by School/Division for the appropriate divisional support contact. For any additional questions, please contact zoom@jhu.edu.
