[NJSBMWR] Club meeting via zoom?

[Don Eilenberger]

Gary

Actually I believe it is encrypted now (it claimed to be when I used it 
yesterday) - but not a real worry since I don't think we ever discuss 
anything that anyone else would find interesting, indeed some people at 
our real f2f meetings don't find much of what we discuss interesting..

The problem teachers were having was the default for the meetings used 
to be there was a way to scroll through a directory of all the meetings 
taking place, and if the meeting wasn't setup to require approval to 
join or a password - anyone could join the meeting. There also was no 
means to throw someone out (or someone's video feed.) The evil-doers 
would search for open teaching groups and the miscreants then were 
coming in with pornographic images, which obviously changed what the 
kiddies were learning about.

I'm not sure that would be a problem with our meeting.... it might wake 
people up,  but - now there is no directory of meetings - you have to 
know the meeting ID to join it.
