Tips to make your Zoom chat more secure
don’t share the Zoom meeting link or the meeting ID on public platforms

don’t use the personal meeting ID; allow Zoom to create a random number for each meeting

set a meeting password

set screen sharing to \"host only\"

limit recording permissions for call participants

create a “waiting room” for the call, which allows the host to manually give users entry to the call

disable file transfer

disable \"join before host\"

disable \"allow removed participants to rejoin\"

Public platforms include WhatsApp?

I think WA is encrypted? So it shouldn't be accessible to the public.

So, is it safe for parents to share user IDs and passwords via WhatsApp?

From WA's website:
https://faq.whatsapp.com/en/android/28030015/

WhatsApp end-to-end encryption ensures only you and the person you're communicating with can read what's sent, and nobody in between, not even WhatsApp. Your messages are secured with locks, and only the recipient and you have the special keys needed to unlock and read your messages. For added protection, every message you send has an unique lock and key. All of this happens automatically: No need to turn on settings or set up special secret chats to secure your messages.

Important: End-to-end encryption is always activated. There's no way to turn off end-to-end encryption.

:thankyou:
Parents were sharing around them, I was not sure if it's safe. Thanks

MOE suspends use of Zoom in home-based learning... Gonna explore Google Meet as an option.

Our Moelc teacher is switching to Google Hangouts.

It is an easy Google app to include (on the Chrome browser for instance), But you need to First create a Google account... And, Hangouts has more restrictions (e.g. to test out functions, you need unique email addresses/ phone numbers). Certain functions are unavailable on the mobile app as well, so it becomes more necessary to use Hangouts on a laptop/ desktop. Though so, Hangouts does have entire screen share + application window share tools (same as Zoom); but I don't find a whiteboard (which Zoom provides)...

My P3's tuition centre uses Zoom, which I feel is fine since meetings are password protected; otherwise my other school kids have always been working on Google or Microsoft platforms, so are not impacted.

If the group is small, the host can screen each attendee before allowing the person to join the meeting by using the waiting room feature (it is now on by default, but do check when you schedule a meeting).
