Zoom Authentication Security Feature for Meetings

If you would prefer some extra security within your Zoom meetings, SUNY Oswego has now allowed access to make sure authenticated users are only allowed in these meetings. This can be set for every single meeting you schedule or just individualized meetings.

Every meeting

1. Go to your Zoom Settings and find the “Only authenticated users can join meetings” setting under “Security”. 

2. Change the button on the right from gray to blue to turn the setting on. 
3. Once it is changed, now every meeting you start on your own is only allowed for people with Oswego emails.

Individualized Meetings 

1. When you schedule a meeting, find the “Meeting Options” and select “Require Authentication to Join”. 

• Once you can have authenticated users join your meetings, when a student joins the Zoom meeting (after being signed into Zoom with an Oswego account), everything will run the same as a regular Zoom meeting for them and you.
• If someone attempts to join without being signed in, they will get the following message: 

• You will then have to sign in using a SUNY Oswego Zoom account to use this feature.
• If someone were to attempt to join with a Gmail or any other associated Zoom account that is not an Oswego account, they’ll receive the same error.
