The Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada (OPC) has posted videoconferencing tips on its blog<\/a>. With the expansion of remote work videoconferencing has become a daily routine for many workplaces. Online meetings can present a new set of privacy concerns, and the OPC has outlined 11 tips to mitigate those risks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are the tips, paraphrased:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Research the videoconference service to understand what privacy and security vulnerabilities it may have<\/li>
  2. Actually read its privacy policies and terms of use<\/li>
  3. Put some thought into your password when signing up for an account \u2013 use something new, different, and secure<\/li>
  4. Make your meetings private or limit to invited participants \u2013 if you don\u2019t want uninvited guests, don\u2019t post the link publicly<\/li>
  5. Use a password for your call and change it for each meeting<\/li>
  6. Don\u2019t unnecessarily disclose personal or confidential information \u2013 if you do discuss personal or private information, disable the ability to record the call<\/li>
  7. Be aware of your background \u2013 it can inadvertently share a lot of information that you don\u2019t want to share<\/li>
  8. Be aware of who can hear your call \u2013 use headphones or a private space<\/li>
  9. Regularly update any apps you\u2019ve installed and review the permissions (and don’t forget #2, above)<\/li>
  10. When using a web browser for the call, open a new window with no other taps and ideally close other applications to avoid inadvertently sharing notification pop-ups<\/li>
  11. Turn off your digital home assistant so you don\u2019t accidentally trigger it to record your call<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Videoconferencing is just one tool of many that ministries have embraced in response to COVID-19 shutdowns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
