How to prevent "Zoombombing" (practice of interrupting Zoom meeting with inappropriate content)
Don't make meetings public. Zoom lets users make meetings private by requiring a meeting password or using a waiting room feature to control who's admitted.
Don't share a link to the meeting on a public social media post. Send the link to people directly.
Change the screen-sharing option in Zoom to "host only."
Ask people to use the latest updated version of Zoom.
Ensure your organization's telework policy addresses requirements for information security.
