Using Zoom HIPAA Private Mode Video Conferencing

HIPAA Zoom is very similar to regular Zoom, so the following links still largely apply.

Key Differences with Regular Zoom

Zoom HIPAA Private Mode is VERY similar to the normal Zoom Pro accounts that all Drexel faculty, instructors, staff, and students have.

Here are the differences:

  • End-to-end encryption, including encrypted chats
       •   A green lock with an E on it appears in upper left of Zoom meeting, indicating end-to-end encryption.
  • Removes device & user information in logs and reports.
  • Only records to the host's computer, not the cloud.
  • No live streaming to YouTube, Facebook, & Workplace on Facebook.
       •   You can live meetings with multiple people, but not to the general public.
  • Uses https://drexelprivate.zoom.us or drexelprivate.zoom.us 
       •   Rather than https://drexel.zoom.us or drexel.zoom.us
       •   This is how Zoom session links start.
       •   Also, SSO or Single-sign-on windows will ask you to fill in [ BLANK ].zoom.us
       •   Enter drexelprivate in front of .zoom.us for HIPAA Private Zoom meetings
