Before You Begin
Zoom passwords are enabled for all new Zoom meetings as of June 13, 2020. This was turned on due to Zoom’s continued efforts to increase security for meetings. The two most popular methods of scheduling a Zoom meeting are using the Google Calendar integration, and through the Zoom web portal, zoom.nd.edu.
