Important Zoom information
Jorge Castro
We've had to make some changes to the global zoom settings to help mitigate the recent increase in zoombombing: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/20/style/zoombombing-zoom-trolling.html
Each meeting will now have a link towards the bottom of the "Launch Zoom Meeting" page you can use to join with the web client ("If you cannot download or run the application, start from your browser.")
For those of you using the web client, a zoom account is now required:
- When you're following a web link to a meeting you will need to login, we can't have open join links on the web
- You can use an existing social account or SSO for this login
Also, please try stay on top of the Zoom client updates, they are pushing releases quickly. Those of you on Linux, the upstream RPMs and .debs do NOT auto update, you need to either manually update or use the Flatpak/Snap versions that are being updated by those respective communities.
For folks running meetings. Here are our Zoom guidelines, they contain everything you need to know to run a safe Zoom meeting. Most of these policies have been in place for a long time, but it wouldn't hurt to familiarize yourself with them: https://github.com/kubernetes/community/blob/master/communication/zoom-guidelines.md
If you have any questions, feel free to ask on this list!
