Requiring Authentication for your Classes and Meetings

Zoom offers the ability to require authentication for your classes and meetings. This guide will describe what Zoom authentication is, why it should get used, and when it should be used.

• Authentication Adds Another Security Layer

  • All 91猎奇 Zoom meetings by default have passwords, but anyone with the meeting link details can join your Zoom meeting. That is fine until your link gets shared with a malicious person outside your class or meeting.

    With authentication, your attendees also need to sign in to Zoom and be verified as valid Zoom users. Every CSU student and employee is a valid Zoom user, so this is a great feature to enable when everyone in your meeting or class is a CSU person.

• What are my options as a class instructor or meeting host?

  • There are three options to select regarding Zoom authentication.

    1. Authentication for 91猎奇 Zoom Accounts
    For regular classes and for internal meetings, we advise authentication using 鈥�91猎奇 Zoom Accounts鈥� when possible. This only authorizes people who are able to sign into Zoom with an 91猎奇 ID using 91猎奇鈥檚 single sign-on.

    

    2. Authentication for Any Zoom Account
    Instead of requiring an 91猎奇 login for all participants, you may want to just require any Zoom account login. You can choose to authenticate using 鈥�Any Zoom Account.鈥� This is a great option if the people you鈥檙e working with are also with the CSU (all CSU campuses use Zoom) or anyone else with a Zoom account. That will help you make sure the people who are joining your meeting are the people you invited.

    

    3. No Authentication
    You can choose not to add this security method. There are plenty of cases where you should not enable authentication. For example, if you are presenting a class session with a visiting lecturer who isn鈥檛 an 91猎奇 person, or if you are having a meeting with a vendor or other external party.

How do I schedule an authenticated meeting?

• On your computer using Zoom

  • If you鈥檙e scheduling with Zoom on the web, in the meeting options, check the 鈥�Only authenticated users can join鈥� box and pick which authentication -- 91猎奇 Zoom Account or Any Zoom Account.

    

    This setting is available on the Zoom desktop client under 鈥�Advanced Options.鈥�

• On your computer using Canvas

  • If you鈥檙e scheduling with Zoom from within a Canvas course, in the meeting options, check the 鈥�Only signed-in users with specified domains can join meetings鈥� box. Next, check the box 鈥�Include approved domains sjsu.edu鈥� and (optional) type in a different domain.

    

• On your computer using Google Calendar

  • To manage this if you鈥檙e using the Google Calendar integration, authentication to 91猎奇 Zoom will be automatically selected.

    To change that, first pick Zoom under 鈥�Add Conferencing."

    

    Then select the zoom icon over on the right-hand side of the calendar to open the settings.

    

    After you鈥檝e opened the settings, you can pick the 鈥�Any Zoom Account鈥� option or just switch authentication off.

    

Holding an Authenticated Meeting

• What should I do when I start my authenticated meeting?

  • You have the option to prevent participants from renaming themselves. We strongly recommend unchecking the 鈥�Rename Themselves鈥� setting in authenticated classes and meetings.

    

• What happens if I鈥檓 invited to participate in an authenticated meeting?

  • If you鈥檙e already signed in to Zoom, either in your web browser or in the Zoom desktop client, you鈥檒l join the meeting.

    If you鈥檙e not signed in to either, you will be prompted to log in or switch accounts.

    

    After you select 鈥�Sign in to Join鈥� or 鈥�Switch Account鈥� you鈥檒l be taken to a Zoom login web page. Select the 鈥�Sign In with SSO鈥� button.

    

    Finally, tell Zoom you鈥檙e signing in to 91猎奇 by entering 鈥�sjsu鈥� in the 鈥�Company domain鈥� blank.

    

    That will start the sign-in process and join you to the meeting.
