Employees should always use department-sanctioned tools for collaboration with colleagues, starting with Microsoft Teams (at Protected B if your departmental tenancy has been accredited to that level, or unclassified otherwise), then moving to other sanctioned tools such as GCTools or WebEx. If those options aren’t available, then the [https://www.tbs-sct.gc.ca/pol/doc-eng.aspx?id=27122 Policy on Acceptable Network and Device Use] does allow usage of public cloud tools such as Slack, Zoom or Google Hangouts for '''unclassified''' work only. However, there are some privacy issues that need to be recognized before using these applications. It is important to remember that these applications are <u>never</u> to be used for any sensitive or classified work.

*Enable a "Waiting Room"/Queue type feature, if available
*Keep your personal meeting ID or invites private

When a meeting is created, Zoom generates a seemingly random ID that is 9 to 11 digits long. For someone with computing resources, this can easily be cracked allowing malicious actors to join the call.
