Security and Privacy Settings for Meetings

Prevent uninvited guests or mischievous attendees from disrupting your BlueJeans coming together ("Zoombombing") past enabling security settings for a scheduled meeting or during a meeting in progress. For more information, see Penn's guidance on Zoombombing.

Schedule a Secure Meeting

The Canvas integration makes it piece of cake to schedule course sessions, invite students, and deeply share recordings. See Scheduling BlueJeans Meetings Through Canvas for instructions.

Consider adding an extra layer of security to your meetings past enabling the following settings:

  • Restricted meeting access: Only users who are logged in to their Penn BlueJeans account can join (My Organisation Simply). This setting is recommended for virtually grade sessions.
  • Disable moderator-less meetings: Configure your meetings to require a moderator. Students cannot join grade before the teacher joins and volition see a pop-up that says, "Waiting for moderator to offset the meeting."
  • Crave a meeting passcode. Adding a passcode means participants tin only join the coming together with a link that contains an embedded passcode, or by manually inbound a passcode that y'all provide to them. We recommend removing the embedded passcode in a coming together link so attendees are forced to manually enter the passcode.

In-Meeting Security Options

  • Lock your meeting. When everyone has successfully joined the course session, yous can lock your meeting to foreclose others from joining. Once a coming together has been locked, hosts are not notified if people are trying to enter and participants will be unable to bring together/rejoin unless the meeting is unlocked.
  • Remove an individual. If an uninvited invitee shows up to your virtual classroom, you tin can remove them from the People menu by using the 'Drib from coming together' feature.
  • Manage disruptive participants:
    • Mute video/audio: Turn off a student's camera or mic to block distracting content or inappropriate gestures while form is in session.
    • Mute all participants: Mute/unmute all participants upon entry to minimize disruptions when anybody joins the meeting or during a meeting in-progress.
  • Lock screen sharing. Every bit a meeting host, you take the choice to decide when participants can screen share and when screen share tin be taken over by other meeting participants.
  • Disable the conversation. The conversation feature is enabled by default. As coming together host, you can disable the chat for all participants, or disable private conversation so participants cannot send private messages.
