Zoom bombing is one of the most well-known risks with Zoom’s video meeting app. Those steps could involve canceling and rescheduling the meeting using a different meeting ID. In the event it finds a link at risk of being disrupted by Zoom bombing, the tool alerts the account owner and provides guidelines for next steps. The At-Risk Meeting Notifier scans social media posts and other websites for publicly shared Zoom meeting links.

The release of these two features above complements the work of the At-Risk Meeting Notifier. All account owners and admins need to do is enable reporting for non-hosts in their web settings. This enables users - not just hosts and co-hosts, but anyone in the meeting - to report disruptive behavior like Zoom bombing from within the Zoom client using the “Security” badge.

Using this will remove the person from the call and notify Zoom’s Trust & Safety team. At that point, hosts and co-hosts can resume the meeting by turning functions back on one by one. If they choose that option, Zoom’s platform will ask attendees whether they would like to eject a Zoom-bombing user from the meeting and share any details, including but not limited to a screenshot. This enables hosts and cohosts to suspend meeting functions, including video, audio, in-meeting chat and breakout rooms. Zoom added two new security features in November 2020 that customers could use to address disruptive and uninvited callers, or Zoom bombers.
