Thursday Happiness Hour

Tomorrow evening at 6:10 p.m. I will open a Zoom meeting and invite any who'd like to share a social moment and a virtual glass (or two) of wine to join me (for up to 40 minutes after the third person joins the meeting). Meeting ID: 903-806-2486. Thanks Patricia, for the encouragement.

  1. It has to be a virtual glass?

    1. Ha! But yes, the glass of wine I offer is virtual. You may want to bring your own beer.

  3. A note from ITD on zoom security:

    In response to inquiries concerning recently published articles describing privacy concerns relating to Zoom, please note these articles refer to the free version of Zoom. By contrast, MTSU purchased an enterprise education license, which has additional privacy safeguards that comply with FERPA. Furthermore, in order to stay safe online with Zoom, we recommend faculty and staff use the following guidelines:



    DO NOT use the free version of Zoom. Instead, please use the MTSU Zoom system found at https://www.mtsu.edu/stayoncourse/faculty/zoom/index.php
    Avoid posting Zoom meeting invitation information on social media and other public online forums when possible and only send the invitations to those who need it
    Always verify your Zoom meetings have a password set
    Always verify only the host can share the screen. This feature can be enabled in the Advanced Sharing options per the following:

    Using the MTSU Zoom system affords you the following advantages over the free version:
    Use of MTSU’s Single Sign-On (SSO) system in combination with multi-factor authentication, which protects your MTSU Zoom account from unauthorized access
    FERPA protections baked into the product not normally available with the free version, which you can read more about at https://zoom.us/docs/doc/Zoom%20for%20Higher%20Education.pdf
    Additional support from ITD through an administration console not normally available with the free version


    If you have any additional questions concerning privacy, please email security@mtsu.edu. If you have questions about using the MTSU Zoom system, please contact the Faculty Instructional Technology Center at (615) 904-8189 or at itdacad@mtsu.edu.


    Thank you,

    ITD Cybersecurity

  4. Well, this was fun and a needed relief from the isolation of social distancing. I have a partner whose work takes them out into the fray, so much of my interaction with others these days comes through my MTSU community. Thanks, Patricia, for the nudge, and Ed for hosting. Let's keep it going!

  5. What is the password for the Zoom meeting.

    1. Hey, Debria! I don't think Ed had a password required for it; just the meeting ID number. Although, because there have been problems with unwanted guests interrupting meetings, we might want to add a password for next time. I think the plan is to meet again next Thursday at 6:10 PM. Hope to see you there, Debria. Stay well!
