How do I secure the classroom ?

Keep your online classes secure and protected from intruders using the lock meeting feature.

The video of a student or teacher is never enabled by default when they enter a class. Zoho Meeting always asks for your consent before enabling your web camera, or remote control access for your keyboard and mouse during online classes. Teachers can use the Lock meeting feature to prevent intruders from entering the classes.

For an added layer of privacy, Zoho Meeting generates a random password when starting an instant meeting or scheduling a meeting. The meeting password will be encrypted and included in the join meeting link, allowing students to join with only one click rather than entering the password. Meeting password is required for students to join the meeting from the join page or meet.zoho.com.
