or disruptive participants, use the features of Zoom to interrupt and disrupt meetings and classes.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>What can you do?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Whenever possible, keep your links embedded in your LMS, rather than emailing or posting them for public view.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, you can restrict access by enabling a waiting room and customizing your waiting room message, restricting access to the UMS users only by requiring authentication for your meetings, or requiring a password.<\/p>\n<p>You can manage your participants by limiting the chat features, the ability to share content, and virtual backgrounds.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/tdx.maine.edu\/TDClient\/2624\/Portal\/KB\/ArticleDet?ID=134554\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Learn how here<\/a>.
