[U]Tech shares guidance on Zoom meeting passwords

University Technology ([U]Tech) required passwords for all meetings and webinars that were created on May 30 or after. Any meetings created before May 30 without a password, but scheduled to occur after May 30, did not get a password applied.

However, if you edit an existing meeting or webinar without a password, a password will be applied to that meeting or webinar. Once saved, the password cannot be removed; you will need to share that password with your participant list.

This can also happen with existing Zoom meetings or webinars edited via Google Calendar or even just launched from Google Calendar by the meeting host. Be aware that if you edit a meeting without a password in Google Calendar or even launch the meeting from Google Calendar as the host, a password will be required for that meeting going forward and you will need to share that password with your participant list. To avoid, you can launch the meeting as the host from cwru.zoom.us or the Zoom client on your computer.
