Q. Are there SCORE-branded virtual Backgrounds? 
A. Yes! You can choose from these options here.

Q. Do my clients need Zoom to join our meeting? 
A. No, attendees do not need to have a Zoom account to join the meeting. Here is a video on what clients can expect: https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/201362193-Joining-a-Meeting 

 

Q. Notifications/Reminders
A. The reminder feature is enabled for all our Zoom accounts. However, it's important to note that this reminder only works if users are signed into the Zoom Desktop App

• The notification is a desktop alert, not an email, so they will only receive it if they are already signed in on their computer.
• If anyone wants a reminder for an upcoming meeting or webinar, they’ll need to add it to their calendar manually, unless they consistently stay signed into the Zoom desktop app.

Q. Any best practices on security?
A. Some best practices recommended from MIT (via SCORE volunteer Bud Equi) are to use a waiting room feature and ask people to sign in with their full name. Manually only let in people invited. Lastly, you can lock the meeting once everyone has arrived. Here's how: https://blog.zoom.us/wordpress/2014/06/03/spotlight-security/
