Guidelines for worship streamed over Zoom - privacy and safeguarding
This ‘Zoom event’ will be primarily with people you know, but there may be other people taking part who you don’t know. Visitors are always welcome!
Everyone should be aware that names appear on the screen – you are given an option to choose which name you would like to be displayed. No-one will have access to your computer beyond the Zoom event, but be mindful of who you are talking to and what you say about yourself. Be aware of who you are talking to as you would in church.
If you are joining the worship using the live video link, please be aware everyone may be able see you. They can also see the room behind you as it appears on the screen. You may wish to avoid photos appearing on screen which are in your room of children, or any other information which may reveal your location.
Children joining this Zoom worship should be accompanied by an adult at all times.
You can join Zoom on the computer and only use the ‘sound’ access and not ‘video’. Your chosen name will still appear as present.
During the worship, everyone will be on mute apart from those leading the worship.
Everyone will be unmuted before and after the service, and at the peace.
