No more Zoombombing! Zoom rolls out security check, admins can now disable personal meeting IDs

Zoom, a video conferencing app, came to the rescue of young professionals and kids attending online classes, when the Covid-19 lockdown happened. However, quite a few users and experts have, in the past, raised security concerns with the app.

The San Jose-based company has addressed some of these concerns in a blog post. In a new security update, Zoom will allow admins to disable personal meeting IDs. This will help prevent Zoombombing, an activity where hackers or trolls gain access to a particular meeting and bombard it with objectionable content.

The company has now rolled out a feature that allows admins to disable Personal Meeting IDs (PMIs) for scheduling or starting a meeting.
