If you use the 'Require Authentication to Join' feature for a Zoom meeting, you can add exceptions by clicking on the Add link next to "Authentication Exception' in the Zoom Web Portal.Original:Recent news reports have indicated that New Jersey colleges and universities are seeing an uptick in Zoombombing intrusions of online meetings and events held via Zoom. We encourage faculty and staff using Zoom Information Technology to review Zoom's Best Practices for Securing Your Zoom Meetings guide for in-depth detail on how to best secure your Zoom meetings and prevent these types of incidents. Key takeaways include: Never share a Zoom meeting link on a publicly viewable website or social media channel Use Waiting Rooms to review attendees before starting meetings Familiarize yourself with Zoom's Security controls If you have any questions or concerns, please contact our Information Technology Help Desk at www.wpunj.edu/helpdesk or 973-720-4357.

This likely will be after 4 p.m. All normal email through the Exchange system should be unaffected. Known impacts: Email sent directly through WPconnect applications will be queued up and resent by the Programmer team. WebHelpdesk will give a ‘failed to send’ email when attempting to send email from within the system. These messages will need to be resent from within Helpdesk when this is resolved. Xerox printers will be unable to scan to email until resolved as well. 03/03/21 09:00 AM - 03/03/21 02:00 PM FIOS customers experiencing internet issues We've received multiple reports of connectivity issues with campus resources from off-campus, and we have determined that the issues are related to network problems that Verizon FIOS is experiencing.
