It is UF’s recommendation that this feature be used when scheduling meetings where all participants are UF faculty, staff, or students Additionally, users are encouraged to require a meeting password for all meetings scheduled.
Meetings secured to UFL accounts require that participants be signed into Zoom with their UFL account before joining the meeting. Open Zoom on your computer and click the avatar icon in the top right corner of the Zoom window to check how you are signed in.
