Zoom Changes!

Important Notice:

The privacy and security of our community is our top priority.  To prevent malicious people from "spamming" meetings and classes:

  • Participants will be placed on hold until the Instructor or "Host" enters the room.
  • Students, faculty, and staff signed into the Zoom application outlined in the article "Signing into Zoom with PCCC Credentials" will be admitted to the class or meeting when the instructor or "Host" arrives. Students, faculty and Staff joining a Zoom Meeting from a zoom account not using the sign in method for PCCC will be considered “guests” and must be admitted by the Host into the meeting. Guests are always sent to a waiting room until admitted by the "host".
