Blog Post: Changes to Zoom

We would like to notify you of a couple of recent changes to Zoom in Canvas, which will be effective from Monday 9th November.

  1. The visual watermark will no longer be mandatory and will instead be optional. Guidance for watermark settings is available here
  2. Only people with an external email address will need to be admitted from a waiting room, everyone else will be admitted straight into the session. Staff will have the option of reinstating the waiting room for all users. Guidance for waiting room is available here

Summary of Changes

  • The new Institutional default setting now places non-LJMU accounts in the waiting room, any users with LJMU accounts will bypass the waiting room.
  • There are no changes to the Canvas Zoom meetings scheduler. The waiting room option is still checked as it relates to the institutional default.
  • To set the waiting room to all users, you must change this in your Zoom settings.
