Zoom-bombing occurs when unauthorized individuals join Zoom meetings and disrupt them. To prevent this, always use unique meeting IDs and require passwords for entry. Disable features such as "Join before host" and "Allow removed participants to rejoin," and do not embed meeting passwords in links. Consider adding a co-host and enabling the waiting room to control participant access.
During meetings, use host controls to end the meeting, put attendees on hold, mute participants, disable private chat, and lock the meeting once all expected participants have arrived. Restrict screen sharing and recording privileges to hosts and co-hosts only.
If necessary, remove disruptive visitors and disable their video to maintain control. These steps help ensure meetings remain secure and free from unwanted interruptions.
