We communicated earlier that Zoom will require a Waiting Room or Passcode effective September 27th. Based on requests from many institutions needing more time to adjust to the changes to default meeting settings, Zoom has postponed this requirement and will inform all users of a new date later this year.
Even though this change will not occur on September 27th, we strongly encourage everyone to use a Waiting Room or a Passcode to avoid interruptions such as “Zoombombing” where uninvited visitors manage to join unsecured meetings. We also encourage you to sign into your Wellesley College Zoom account every day so you will avoid being placed into a Waiting Room inadvertently.
If you have any questions please contact the Computing Help Desk at helpdesk@wellesley.edu or 781-283-3333 (faculty/staff); 781-283-7777 (students).
