Security
Zoom has addressed various security concerns on their website. For more information please review the following articles:
To keep Zoom meetings private and secure, and to prevent unwanted guests (aka "Zoombombing"), Zoom now requires a password for all meetings, including those scheduled with your Personal Meeting ID.
If you didn’t already have a Personal Meeting ID password, Zoom will auto-generate one for you. You can click here or copy and paste the following URL into a web browser to obtain or change the password for your PMI: https://zoom.us/profile/setting#schedule_meeting_options
if you scheduled a meeting with your Personal Meeting ID without a password, please update your invitation or otherwise notify attendees of the new password so that they will still be able to connect.
