If you’re looking for a way to volunteer during the COVID-19 pandemic, Campus Ministry is asking the campus community to consider donating to the Jewish Family Services Emergency Donation Drive. The organization is in need of non-perishable food, personal care items, cleaning supplies and medical supplies, which can be dropped off at Jewish Family Services located at 70 Barker Street in Buffalo. (Drop-off bins are located in the downstairs hallway through the Barker Street entrance.)

With so many of us turning to Zoom and other video-conferencing platforms to stay connected to one another, an unfortunate phenomenon is taking hold. “Zoombombing” is an instance in which an uninvited guest (or guests) uses Zoom’s screen-sharing feature to broadcast inappropriate content. Most Zoom meetings have a public link that, if clicked, allows anyone to join. Violators collect these links and share them in private chat groups, and then sign on to other people’s calls to cause mischief.
On Thursday, March 26, Zoom released an update to the default screen sharing settings for education accounts, in an effort to increase security and privacy for meetings. To learn more about these protective changes, click here.
In addition to these steps, everyone should follow these best practices:
- Be sure your computer has the latest version of Zoom installed
- Share your Zoom links with students directly or via D2L
- Do not post links publicly or on social media
- Watch the participant list while you are running the meeting.
- The host has all the control so set your preferences accordingly
- If you don’t recognize a name on your list of participants, question or eject them
As always, if you have any questions or concerns please contact the ITS Help Desk at 88i-8340, email helpdesk@canisius.edu or visit http://helpdesk.canisius.edu
