zoom is a video conference call program so I assume he means people are joining in en masse and disrupting the event

They go into a video chat group and bomb it such as showing nudes or swearing. Then they leave or stick around disrupting the chat so if it was a class they gotta cancel it.

As described above, people pop into Zoom meetings and use things like the share screen feature to disrupt the events.

You can, very easily. Even if you couldn't kick them for some reason you could mute everyone but the person that's supposed to be speaking and lock screen sharing.

Just takes time and effort so it results in disruption anyway.

The big thing is many of the security features are off by default, and nobody thinks to modify them.

They should learn how a software runs especially if it's user friendly. Look at the settings <_<

Most academics were advised to use this by their it departments who didn't bother to teach them how to use it
I spent about 6 hours making tutorials and going through it with groups of 5 teachers at a time

I just think "protection from trolls" is the last thing anyone thinks of in this situation, especially if it restricts useful features.

This is why I'm glad my institution uses Adobe Connect for our online classes. The only way you can enter is if you are a registered student at the university, or if you are a guest, using a specific link where I have to approve you before you are let in. Completely prevents any types of disruptions in my classes.

Here's a thread about a woman who had her dissertation defense disrupted.
https://twitter.com/ceri_weber/status/1243907605854068736?s=19

Imaging spending so many years of your life doing science, working 60+ hrs/wk for minimum wage, all leading up to the dissertation defense. An event that is excruciatingly hard to schedule since all your committee members have different and odd schedule requirements, and so do your departments requirements. And some manchildren decide it's funny to try to disrupt it.

I would be really upset. My heart goes out to whoever is affected by bored underachievers on the internet.

Maybe if you clarified why you are inherently skeptical, and why it was that particular piece of information that got you going.

Zoom absolutely does have settings to stop stuff like this happening, my work place has been using them for quite sometime when we need to make conference calls with other regions. The problem is that most teachers (I hate to do the okay boomer meme) are not exactly tech savvy and were not properly trained to use them. Most of the features are off by default which probably doesn't help either.

It's immature as all hell to do what these trolls are doing, but most of them probably don't have anything else better to do with this quarantine and all.

It's very convenient and has a whole host of features that work quite well.

Having used both, my experience with Zoom has been much better.

Seems like from the above thread that they don't seem to protect so well from an active troll invasion.
