Zoom Webinar Instructions and Best Practices
Recommended Tips for Securing your Zoom Session
These Recommended Tips include:
- Ensure the Meeting ID is automatically generated and that the meeting has a password.
- Do not publicly post the Meeting ID and password. This includes posting to the UGA Master Calendar, which is public.
- Use the waiting room function to control when participants can join the meeting. As of November 30, 2020, the waiting room function is required for any participants who do not have a UGA MyID and is automatically turned on for all UGA Zoom accounts.
- Designate multiple hosts who will help manage the waiting room and eject participants who disrupt the meeting.
- Disable the “join before host” feature and limit screen sharing to the host.
- Consider requiring MyID authentication for the meeting, so only those with UGA MyID accounts can attend.
- Review settings prior to meetings to ensure best practices are in place.

Zoom sessions can be recorded on your local computer, or to the Zoom cloud. Cloud-recorded videos are transferred automatically to your Kaltura account (see below) for long term storage and access.
Kaltura is a media storage and streaming solution offered by UGA. You can access Kaltura by going to kaltura.uga.edu and logging in. All cloud-recorded Zoom videos automatically transfer to your Kaltura account within an hour or so of completion. Kaltura is your Zoom video storage; do not depend on Zoom for video storage.
Kaltura is also integrated with eLC, allowing easy access.
