Zoom has taken a step towards security. Zoom has issued the latest of its weekly updates regarding its push to make the platform more secure. Last week, Zoom announced a collaboration with industry security experts from the likes of Netflix, Uber, and EA. Now, we are beginning to see the fruits of those labors.
In a blog on April 14, Zoom announced updates to its password requirements, random meeting IDs and more. From the release:
Password requirements: For meetings and webinars, account owners and admins can now configure minimum meeting password requirements to adjust the minimum length and require letters, numbers, and special characters, or allow only numeric passwords. All free Basic accounts will have the alphanumeric option on by default.
Random meeting IDs: One-time randomly generated meetings IDs for newly scheduled meetings and webinars will be 11 digits instead of nine. Your Meeting ID (PMI) will remain the same.
temporarily zoom blocked third parties. It also modified further by removing the message preview for web chat notifications. When you disable it, you will get the message notification, but you won’t see the message to preview it.
Zoom resolved “issues related to missing details and delay at the zoom dashboard.” zoom has gained a lot of credit and appreciation since the time of lockdown and social distancing. Zoom came forward to apologize and vowed a 90-day new feature freeze whilst it reviewed its security.
