Zoom Will Now Enable Waiting Rooms by Default

Zoom now says it's rolling out changes that should help prevent some of the worst issues--namely "Zoombombing," the practice where hackers join a meeting, take over screen-sharing, and display inappropriate material. .

Zoom is also now requiring passwords for meetings started by entering a meeting ID since those are relatively easy to guess and hack.

That means that if you're used to joining a meeting just by entering the meeting ID, that won't work.

Just realize that means it won't be quite as easy as it was before

It also means you'll probably have to spend a little more time making sure the right people have the right password to get into your next meeting, starting today

Otherwise, it won't be just the bad guys who can't join your meeting
