Zoom bombing

Many of us have been participating in online groups via the Zoom app. If you’ve done it often, you’ve probably been “zoom bombed” at some point where someone gets into the meeting and disrupts it with filthy language and or sick videos. You can protect to some degree by using the waiting room function or password protecting the meeting. I don’t get the draw why some people do this, but here’s an article about it

And at least 6 hours a week since May. No password, ever. No zoombombing.

The reports of zoom bombing are greatly exaggerated.
