How to ensure Google Meet and Zoom Security?
In order to prevent disruption in our live instruction over Google Meet or Zoom, please ensure you use the DOE version and check “Authenticate Users” in the Advanced Options. In doing so, passwords will then need to be changed to numerical digits. Students should be notified of the new password. This authentication only allows students to log on using their NYC DOE email, locking out any student that doesn’t use the DOE email. As always, please let Fred Manning know of any incidents that may occur.
