What are the differences between HIPAA Compliant Zoom and the normal Zoom?

Answer

• Cloud Recordings are disabled in HIPAA Compliant Zoom (recordings must be saved locally). The locally saved recording should be considered PHI and be saved in a secure folder on your machine.
• If your Zoom session connects to a teleconferencing bridge, that bridge must be encrypted.
• For a complete list of features, please check Zoom’s HIPAA page: https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/207652183-HIPAA-Business-Associate-Agreement-BAA-

If I am the organizer or host of a meeting, am I the only one that needs to be a HIPAA Zoom licensee?

• Yes, meeting participants do NOT need a HIPAA account.  In fact, they do not need any kind of Zoom license.
