To set up an Alternative Host, when scheduling a Zoom meeting follow these steps:

  1. Click Advanced Options.
  2. In the Alternative Host field, enter the alternative name to search through users. You can also enter the alternative host's email address if their name doesn't come up.

Microsoft:

Press the Window key and L to lock your screen

Apple:

Press Command + Control + Q keys to lock your screen

 

Protect your account

On your home computer

  • Do not use your UniSA password as your password on your home computer 

 

Wifi connection security

Make sure you have a secure Wi-Fi connection.

To do this you need a strong password, as well as a strong security level on your router (modem).

Most Wi-Fi routers are correctly secured with WPA2 (Wi-Fi Protected Access 2), which is a method for securing your Wi-Fi network at home so that no one can access your information.

 

Storing your files

Depending on their data classification (see section 4.7 of the information security policy) files can be stored on UniSA approved cloud services such as One Drive, SharePoint, or server shares.

Files should not be stored locally on your computer or a USB drive.

Further information is available on our Protect your data .

It's work not play

Your UniSA computer is for your use only. Make sure that friends and family understand this and that they should not have access to this device.
