Let’s review important steps, which you can do to make yourself safer, also you can just read about privacy in zoom on their official site.

First thing, never share your meeting links, do not post them on Twitter, Facebook, or any other social network, it’s a really simple step. Better to spread links through any other method like email or through a special bot, which will write every participant in a private message.

The second step, is always to make sure, that you set your meeting in private mode, so people should use link+password to enter your video call. Although now zoom company makes all meetings private by default, you just need to check this parameter, if you do not create a new group every time.

The third part never shares with anyone your personal ID. It’s a special meeting ID – which you get when registering a zoom account, it’s important because it never changes and you can’t change it, so if you share it anywhere it can cause real problems. Hackers will use your ID to bomb other meetings. You should give this ID only to trusted and secured contacts, sadly it is needed for fast-instant meetings, simple meetings using one-time IDs. When you understood, that someone stole your ID or you occasionally shared it in public, you must contact zoom support, so they will change it. Fourth thing, if it’s a presentation or lecture, make sure to set screen-sharing to host only.
