OIT is excited to announce some changes coming to the UT Zoom system on January 13, 2026. 

Redesigned Home Page 

OIT Is launching a redesigned home page at tennessee.zoom.us. 

New Waiting Room 

OIT is implementing a UTK-branded Waiting Room image for UTK faculty, staff, and students. This new image will give your waiting room a professional look and feel. 

Updated Security 

Zoom has announced that all meetings are to be secured with one of the following security options:  

• Passcode 
• Waiting Room 
• “Only authenticated users can join meetings” 

If you do not enable one of these options for your meeting, Zoom will secure meetings with the Waiting Room.
