New Registration Confirmation Flow

Zoom is updating the registration confirmation page for meetings and webinars to improve the security of registration links.

When an attendee registers for an event, the join link will no longer be displayed on the confirmation page in their web browser. Attendees will find the join link in the email confirmation sent to them as usual. This change will help prevent attackers from obtaining a registration link using an email address they do not control personally and limit unwanted guests from joining meetings or webinars.

This setting will be enabled for all accounts July 1, 2022. Once enabled, registrants will no longer see join information (link, meeting password, etc.) on the registration confirmation page, and will be asked to refer to the confirmation email for details.

For more information on how to manage registrants and turn on registration, please check out Zoom’s help articles.

New Feature: Alternative Hosting and Designated Scheduling across the Enterprise

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:

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.

Account Type Email Format
Faculty and Staff [email protected]
Student [email protected]

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 [email protected].

New Setting: Cloud Recording & Reporting Now Available for JHM (HIPAA-Compliant) Users

Effective February 22, 2021:
We are excited to announce that we have signed a revised BAA with Zoom to lift restrictions on Cloud Recording and Reporting in the JHM (HIPAA-compliant) instance of Zoom in the JH enterprise. This impacts the following features:

  • Cloud Recording – Users now have the ability to record to the Zoom Cloud, which includes automatic, post-recording transcription.
    Please Note:

    • Recording of clinical care, including telemedicine care, is prohibited without with the written consent of the patient.
    • Automatic Live Transcription is not a suitable replacement for medical transcription services. Please contact JHM Language Services for more information on real-time transcription service for medical discussions.
    • Cloud Recordings are automatically deleted after 180 days. You will need to download them locally before they are automatically deleted if you wish to retain a copy. Zoom will send you a reminder email before the deletion occurs.
  • In-Meeting Chat – Allows copy/paste from chat messages and [if configured by the host] saving of the meeting chat.
  • Automatic Live Transcription / Closed Captioning – This feature is now available for use during live Zoom sessions. Copies of the transcript(s) are also included with both Cloud and Local recordings. If you are recording to the Zoom Cloud, a transcript will automatically be provided within the recording. If your session requires live captioning/transcription or you are recording locally, please refer to our guide on Live Transcription and review the HIPAA Guidelines.
  • ReportingZoom reports will now include identifiable participant information.

For more information, please see our HIPAA FAQ.
