Have you given video conferencing, such as Zoom, a try during the pandemic?

It can be a great way to interact with your friends and family through a screen and have a conversation with everyone in the room.

However, you need to take steps to ensure that your conversations stay private and are only available to those you invited to your group.

1) Use passwords and/or unique ID numbers for each meeting.

2) Keep the video conferencing software up to date.

3) Don't open unexpected video conference invitations.

4) Protect your privacy.
