How do I use unique  session  links?

Using unique session invitation links, rather than open, guest links, are is the best way to ensure only the participants that should be in a Collaborate session is are able to access it. Using Collaborate session invitations is easy, the instructions for setting up invitations is are located in create and manage sessions.

Session roles and permissions are an additional way to configure a participant’s permissions within a Collaborate session.

How do I restrict  access to my Collaborate sessions? 

Guest links are public links that anybody who has the link can use. For example, if you send the link to a student and they share the link, anybody they share the link with can join, and so on. If you want to keep your session secure, don't use guest links.
