During the coronavirus pandemic, many people who can work from home use Zoom, a workplace tool that connects colleagues for virtual meetings. Increased use of the app also comes with negatives though, such as “Zoom Zoom.” It’s like photobombing, with uninvited people jumping into meetings, often thinking it’s a bad idea. Fortunately, there are ways to prevent this from happening in Zoom settings.
Zoom can be used to connect colleagues, friends and family as you travel through society. Schools also use the tool to take classes online. The system has a free tier, and has been the most popular video conferencing service during the coronavirus pandemic. It is easy to use and the free version allows up to 100 users to meet. The free version has no time limit for one-on-one meetings, but there is a 40-minute limit for group meetings.
Since most Zoom meetings have a public link that anyone can click, they have become an easy bait for trolls, the Verge notes. When scheduling a meeting via the web interface, you won’t see the option to disable screen sharing. Instead, you need to click on “Settings” in the menu on the left, scroll down to “screen sharing.” There, you will see “Who Will Participate?” Click on “Host Only” and then click “Save.” After that, future meetings will have default sharing by default.

Another option, outlined by Business Insider, is creating “waiting rooms.” To do this, go to account management, then account settings. Scroll all the way to the “Waiting room” and enable it. Next, you can choose which participants should go to the waiting room. “All participants” will place everyone in the waiting room, while “guest participants” will place people who are not logged in to the waiting room. After that, you can set up different waiting rooms for different scheduled meetings. Once the meeting starts, users will have to wait until the host is allowed to access the meeting.
A Zoom spokesman also sent a statement to Forbes explaining how to stop the “Zoom Bomb” from happening.
“For private conference hosts, password protections are by default and we recommend that users maintain these protections to prevent unauthorized users from joining,” the spokesperson said. “We also encourage users to report any incidents of this type directly so that we can take appropriate action.”
“For extra security, users can and should set up a password-entry system,” Jake Moore, cybersecurity specialist at ESET, told Forbes. “This is effectively validating two factors that participants will use before entering the chat. Again, this password must be shared privately.”
Since Zoom became popular, the story of “Zoom bombing” has been surprising. Members of an Alcoholics Anonymous group in New York told Business Insider that their meeting was injured by someone shouting “Alcohol is so good.” People also make false comments and use anti-Semitic slurs. In Austin, Texas, a conference at the University of Texas for young black men was interrupted by two young men saying N-word.
