As millions flock to Zoom (and other services), privacy and security is rightfully a big concern as is common with any popular technology. Luckily there are some steps we can take together to provide you with a secure way to meet virtually:

What You Can Do

Kenosha Public Library staff are evolving our procedures to make sure we are setting up your meetings securely and following best practices as they emerge:

• Most importantly--we always generate a password for your meetings--most concerns are greatly mitigated by this simple step, and we've got you covered.

• We encourage you to not publicly post your zoom connection info--it is far better to email the link directly to those interested in or registered for your meeting.

• Since Zoom is quickly patching their software, make sure the Zoom app you are using stays up to date.

• Only download the app or patches from Zoom's official site. Never use downloads for your Zoom sessions from a third party site, even if it has zoom somewhere in the name.
