And when that bomb goes off, and our image is stained, that is when we make the necessary adjustments to avoid that happening again.Īs a consultant, I certainly wouldn't recommend going down that path. And, they have never had the sweet experience of having explicit and other inappropriate material being displayed to all your attendees. Those Zoom customers (including myself) who have had a very uncomfortable and embarrassing experience with virtual meeting bombers all fall into the category of ' convenience decision-making.' They didn't want to be burdened with creating/scheduling a meeting, and they assumed they were burdening their customers.

Ken sounds like you're aware of the concerns commonly considered when someone is contemplating always and only using their Personal Meeting ID for all of their meetings.

I didn't worry about 'bombing' because the meetings were small and I personally knew all of the attendees. Same personal link for every meeting, sent out via email, never bothered to schedule the meetings in the provider's servers. 2) There is a small risk that since I always use the same meeting link, someone will use that link to 'bomb' another of my meetings at another time.Īt my previous employer, we used a different web conferencing provider (not Zoom) and we used this method all of the time to host meetings. Possible downsides: 1) this assumes my meetings are small, and that Zoom's servers will always have capacity to support my ad-hoc meetings. This would provide great ease and flexibility in scheduling meetings. Related question (which I could not find an answer to online): If we set aside the security concerns, why can't I just use my Personal Meeting ID for all meetings? Use that same link, and send it out via email to the attendees? And never preschedule the meeting with Zoom? In essence, every meeting would become an ad-hoc meeting.
