Safety advice to be taken into account when organizing public Zoom events.
When setting up a Zoom meeting, it’s important to take care of security measures to protect the meeting from attendees who can, for example, share their screen and show inappropriate content or disturb the meeting with unwanted noises.
Always make sure to publish Zoom meeting link to trusted sources. Zoom meeting links should not be posted on social media. If the meeting is expected to be a public event, it is MANDATORY to use a registration form that can be turned on when creating a Zoom link. Once you’ve created an event, you can post a registration link instead of your usual Zoom link, where a Zoom link will be sent to the specified email when a participant signs up.
Security measures that may be activated before and during the meeting:
Pre-meeting security measures

7. If more than 50 participants are planned for the event and it is public, then the organiser needs to provide a moderator to monitor the progress of the meeting and the activities of the participants.
Security measures during the meeting
Even if you haven’t activated security measures before the meeting, you can also do so during the meeting.
