Prevent Student to Student Meetings

[CR120385]

We have a Z4E account and have recently heard that students are creating their own Zoom meetings and inviting other students to join.   We supply all students with Chromebooks and they need to use Zoom to connect with their teachers. 

We've been looking for a solution that allow students to connect with their teachers but prevent student to student meetings from occurring .   

Thanks for any help you can provide!

Hello! The solution you are looking for here is External Authentication. This would allow for students to join meetings without an account. They would use your school's SSO to authenticate before joining meetings.

Hello,

Before I configure this can someone please verify the following:

- This will allow our K-12 students to join meetings in our domain but not create their own meetings.

- The public will still be able to join meetings that have been created by district staff without having to have a Google account.

- Staff with existing basic or licensed Zoom accounts will not notice any changes (assuming I apply the external authentication to student OUs only).

Aside from this method, is there any way to add all students to a Zoom group and then simply restrict the new group from creating meetings (join access only)?

Thank you for the help.
