The recommendations below apply to using Zoom in a physical classroom space or from a virtual, fully online course.
Choose your security settings for that Zoom meeting.
For additional security and for accurate attendance taking (if using A+ Attendance) select only authenticated users can join. If you have a guest speaker, do not check this box. In this case, students who log in with their UST credentials will be automatically passed through to the meeting while the guest speaker and other unauthenticated users can be admitted from the waiting room.
For more details see Zoom and Flex Classroom Canvas Site for Faculty and Zoom: Security Features and Best Practices.
If the Zoom meeting is being recorded, communicate this to your students and tell them how the recording will be shared. See the Zoom and Flex Classroom Site recording page for more ideas.
Choose your recording options based on the information above.
If using the Waiting Room feature, monitor access yourself or assign someone to let participants into the meeting. If you are not using the Waiting Room, consider asking someone to help watch and greet people who may enter late.
Create a plan for monitoring your Zoom Chat. For example, if you have a classroom monitor or assistant, volunteer to help, or pause periodically to look at the chat.
