Zoom Launches Important Security Update

Zoom has launched an important update to make the Zoom meeting more private and secure. One of them is the new security tool bar to provide users an all-in-one place to control the security features during the meeting such as enable the waiting room, remove participants, restrict participants’ ability to share screens, chat in a meeting, rename themselves and annotate on the host’s shared content. ICTO highly recommends our users to upgrade their Zoom client to enjoy these new security features which can ensure the security and privacy for your Zoom meeting.

Major updates are as follows:
  • Security Toolbar Icon for Hosts
    The meeting host will now have a "Security" button in their meeting controls, which exposes all of Zoom’s existing in-meeting security controls one place.


  • Invite Button on Meeting Client Toolbar
    The button to invite others to join your Zoom meeting is now available at the bottom of the Participants panel.


  • Meeting ID No Longer Displayed
    The meeting ID will no longer be displayed in the title bar of the Zoom meeting window. The meeting ID can be found by clicking on Participants, then Invite or by clicking on the info icon at the top left of the client window.
  • Remove Attendee Attention Tracking Feature
    Zoom has removed the attendee attention tracker feature to enhance the security and privacy of Zoom users.
  • Removal of the Facebook SDK in our iOS client
    Zoom has reconfigured the feature so that users will still be able to log in with Facebook via their browser.
  • File Transfers
    The option to do third-party file transfers in Meeting and Chat was temporarily disabled. Local file transfer is available with our latest release. Third-party file transfers and clickable URLs in meeting chat will be added back in an upcoming release.
  • New Join Flow for the Web client
    By default, users will now need to sign in to their Zoom account or create a Zoom account when joining a meeting with the Web client.
  • Join Before Host Emails Disabled
    Notifications sent to the host via email when participants are waiting for the host to join the meeting have been disabled.
  • Setting to Allow Participants to Rename Themselves
    Hosts can now disable the ability for participants to rename themselves in any meeting. This setting is available at the Web portal.
