How can I prevent Zoom from recording meetings with confidential information?
If you are hosting an online meeting where confidential information such as student records or health care data is being discussed, you must protect the privacy of individuals by turning off all of the recording features within Zoom.
Important considerations:
- The recording settings will apply to all meetings that you host with your Zoom account. If you need to record a specific Zoom meeting, just reverse the settings.
- Deactivating Zoom's recording features cannot prevent a participant from recording the meeting using a smartphone or third-party software.
- Ensure all meeting participants are aware that both behavior and technology can affect the privacy of confidential health care and academic information.
