Zoom Enhances Safety of its Online Classrooms

Zoom has risen to popularity, especially during pandemic times. To maintain better privacy on the platform, Zoom has introduced its newest feature, known as the Single Sign-On option.

Under the additional feature, users can log in under one set of credentials for accessing all the apps, data, and other services. To use the SSO feature, the school IT administrators will set up a Zoom account wherein students will have to authenticate themselves for verification.

Students will be verified, based on the name of the IDP. This will help in better ensuring that only verified students can join in the meeting. Students will also be able to enjoy single-click access to all the school applications.

Zoom had been under the radar quite a few times owing to the concerns related to privacy and security. Looking at the efforts put in by the platform, this step is a positive one.
