Meeting Safety: Tips 

• Don’t share any sensitive personal information
  For example: passwords, credit card information, SSN, national identification card number, or any other private information.
  
  
• Don’t click on any links or attachments that you may receive unless the context is absolutely clear
  We recommend that you always use an antivirus on your own device as extra security.
  
  
• Avoid remote access tools
  Refrain from using tools such as TeamViewer and AnyDesk that allow a second party to potentially take control of your computer.
  If you do need to use such a tool, make sure not to permit any operations. These may cause damage to your computer if accessed by another party.
  
  
• Don’t engage in any type of online conversation that makes you feel uncomfortable
  Remember, have the option to report your video call to Customer Support.
