Zoom provides the ability for each user to customize their meeting and user settings based on their specific needs and contexts, including for a class, a training, or administrative meeting.
Utilize Sakai : If using Zoom for a course, using the Zoom integration in Sakai requires that participants be enrolled as a member of that site to gain access to the Join Meeting link.
For more information, see How do I schedule a Zoom meeting within Sakai?
Keep the Meeting Private: Avoid sharing or posting the meeting URL to any public-facing webpage or listserv. Instead, use the process of joining a meeting through the Sakai course Zoom integration.
