Although Microsoft Teams is our primary online collaboration tool, ZOOM is also supported by the University of Redlands Information Technology Services for online meetings, classes, and webinars. Like Teams, Zoom can be used on computers as well as mobile devices.

Scheduling Meetings, Inviting Participants, Starting Meetings

Security

The Security icon is visible only to hosts and co-hosts of Zoom Meetings, and is located on the bottom toolbar.

The Security icon provides easy access to several existing Zoom security features so you can more easily protect your meetings.

By clicking the Security icon, hosts and co-hosts can quickly:

  • Lock the meeting
  • Enable the Waiting Room (even if it's not already enabled)
  • Remove participants
  • Restrict participants' ability to share their screens, chat in a meeting, rename themselves, and annotate on the host's shared content.
