Nobody wants uninvited guests crashing their video meetings or strangers listening in on private conversations. The good news? Keeping your video calls secure is simpler than you think. Here's what you need to know.

The Real Risks

Let's talk about what can actually go wrong:

Unwanted Crashers: Random people joining your meeting to cause trouble or spy on you. It's rare, but it happens.

Snooping: Someone trying to see or hear your conversation when they shouldn't.

Fake Invites: Emails that look like meeting invitations but are actually trying to steal your information.

Secret Recording: Someone recording your call without permission.

How Your Calls Stay Protected

Here's the thing: good video calling platforms automatically encrypt your calls. That means your conversations are scrambled so only the people in the meeting can understand them.

Think of it like having a private conversation in a language only you and your group understand. Even if someone intercepts it, they can't make sense of it.

On Roomz.Live, this protection is built in. You don't have to turn anything on or configure anything—it just works.

Simple Ways to Stay Safe

Use Password Protection

For any private or sensitive meeting, set a password. It's like locking the door—only people with the key can enter.

Make the password something decent (not "1234") and share it directly with the people who need it, not in a public place.

Be Careful Who Joins

Before the meeting starts, think about who actually needs to be there. If someone unexpected joins, it's okay to ask who they are.

As the host, you can remove people if needed. Don't be afraid to use that power if something feels off.

Watch What You Share

When you share your screen, everyone can see it. Close any windows or tabs with personal information before you hit "share."

Also, check your video background. Is there anything visible you wouldn't want strangers to see? Move the camera or blur your background.

Be Smart About Meeting Links

Only click on meeting links from people you know. If you get a random invitation from someone you don't recognize, be cautious.

Share meeting links privately (like in a direct message or email), not publicly on social media where anyone can see them.

Before Your Meeting

Know who's supposed to be there
Set a password for private meetings
Make sure the meeting link came from the right person
Clean up your background and screen

During Your Meeting

Mute yourself when you're not talking (also helps with background noise)
Turn off your camera if you need to show something in your space that might be visible
Think before you screen share
If someone seems suspicious, trust your gut

After Your Meeting

If it was sensitive, consider generating a new meeting link for next time. That way, the old link won't work if someone got hold of it who shouldn't have.

A Few More Quick Tips

Avoid Public WiFi: If you're at a coffee shop or airport, that free WiFi isn't secure for sensitive calls. Wait until you're on a private network.

Keep Your Software Updated: Those annoying update notifications? They often include security fixes. Don't skip them.

Trust Your Instincts: If something feels off in a meeting—someone you don't recognize, weird requests, suspicious behavior—don't ignore that feeling. It's okay to pause and ask questions.
