Secure your Zoom meeting
See Instructor Response Plans: Unwanted Zoom Disruptions (Zoombombing) for practical tips for preventing unwanted access, and two recommended response plans in the event your class is disrupted.
Use Auto-Transcripts
Enhance the accessibility of online meetings by enabling Zoom’s Auto-Transcription feature for participants. This feature turns spoken words into text in real-time, increasing access to your material for people who:
- are in a loud or public space
- do not have access to headphones or speakers
- are English language learners
- benefit from hearing and reading content simultaneously

Note: Zoom’s Live Transcripts should be used to improve accessibility, but not for accommodation. (Will add link to Disabilty Service Center pages)
