Zoom fights back for top spot

Zoom is fighting back quickly to regain its numero uno position in video conferencing after being driven to the wall because of privacy issues. It has released version 5.0 to address and fix privacy and security issues. Meeting passwords are now turned on by default, as is the Waiting Room feature. Attendees have to wait in a virtual waiting room to be admitted. The host’s menu bar controls the security features. Through this, you can restrict screen sharing, mute other users, throw out participants and lock meetings. Zoom also upgraded to AES 256-bit GCM encryption, which means more protection and privacy for meetings. Older Zoom clients downloaded onto a computer will not work after May 30 unless they are updated.
