To make this tool as easy to use and effective as possible for everyone, and to reduce the risk of \u201cZoom bombing\u201d intrusions, faculty are encouraged to use auto-generated, pre-configured, auto-recorded USC Zoom meetings. Best practices can be found at\u00a0Keepteaching@usc.edu<\/a><\/p>\n
