As announced in the “point com” of 17 October, the deployment of the Zoom video-conferencing system continues in the establishment.
Here is a reminder of the good practices to adopt:
- Choose a strong, unique password: do not reuse old passwords and make sure passwords have at least 14 characters.
- Minimise your profile information: avoid entering your telephone number, photo or personal email address.
- Use screen sharing wisely: prefer window sharing over full screen sharing, interaction possibilities (chat).
- Close as many applications as possible before starting the video conference.
- If your video conference is recorded, you must inform the participants because the recordings made in the cloud are stored on the Zoom servers.
- Do not share any file containing personal or sensitive data within the meaning of the Protection of Scientific and Technical Heritage – PPST.
Furthermore, it is necessary to keep in mind that Zoom is a US company (registered office in California). It is therefore recalled that for “sensitive” exchanges, it is recommended to use the “Appointment” solution of the RENATER network accessible from your DWE (digital work environment).
Finally, in the context of teaching, the BigBlueButton virtual classroom tool remains accessible to teachers and students via Moodle.
