Introduction

This page explains how to prevent Zoombombing, and how to respond to it if it happens in one of your class meetings.

Zoombombing is when uninvited participants join a Zoom meeting, usually revealing their presence in offensive ways. Zoombombing is possible when an intruder finds, receives, or guesses a Zoom meeting ID for an unprotected meeting.
