Over the weekend, Zoom released 2 more security features to remove & report disruptive meeting participants.
It said from its official blog that under the Security icon, hosts & co-hosts now have the option to temporarily pause their meeting & remove a disruptive participant. By clicking “Suspend Participant Activities,” all video, audio, in-meeting chat, annotation, screen sharing, & recording during that time will stop, & Breakout Rooms will end.
The hosts or co-host will be asked if they would like to report a user from their meeting, share any details, & optionally include a screenshot. Once they click “Submit,” the reported user will be removed from their meeting, & Zoom’s Trust & Safety team will be notified. Hosts & co-hosts may resume their meeting by individually re-enabling the features they’d like to use. Zoom will also send them an email after the meeting to gather more information.
The Suspend Participant Activities feature is enabled by default for all free & paid Zoom users.
What’s more, hosts & co-hosts can already report users from the Security icon, but now meeting participants can also report a disruptive user directly from the Zoom client by clicking the top-left Security badge.
