Master the Art of Avoiding Zoom-Bombing with BILT

Have you ever been Zoom-bombed before? If you're nodding your head in agreement, you're definitely not alone. Many of us have been through this unexpected interruption during a virtual meeting. But fear not, there's a silver lining—learning preventive measures can save your next Zoom call.

When the chaos of an unsolicited intruder invaded my virtual space, I knew I had to act swiftly. It wasn't long before I mastered some strategies to prevent it from happening again. At BILT, we understand the importance of an uninterrupted meeting experience.

Here are some key strategies we recommend for Zoom meeting hosts to ensure your sessions remain free of disruptions:

• Lock the Meeting: Once you have a certain number of participants in your Zoom session, consider locking the meeting. This prevents any additional attendees from joining, keeping your meeting secure from unexpected guests.
• Mute Upon Entry: To eliminate background noise and control the flow of conversation, keeping everyone on mute when they first join can set the right tone for your meeting.
• Turn Off Cameras on Join: To further manage distractions, consider keeping participants' cameras off upon joining. This way, everyone can settle in without any visual interruptions.

Incorporating these simple yet effective settings can significantly enhance the security and professionalism of your virtual meetings. At BILT, we're always here to support you in creating a seamless and interruption-free online experience.
