The coronavirus pandemic has made video conferencin<\/a>g incredibly popular, but also given us a new term to learn: zoombombing<\/a>. It’s the name given to anonymous users entering your video chat and causing all sorts of disruption. Now Google is set to protect educators against zoombombing on Google Meet.<\/p>\n

Google classes an anonymous user as someone who isn’t signed in with a Google account. Anyone classed as a G Suite for Education user will have their privacy increased in the coming days. As the G Suite Updates site explains<\/a>, “anonymous users can no longer join meetings organized by anyone with a G Suite for Education or G Suite Enterprise for Education license. This prevents participants from sharing a link publicly to encourage anonymous users to request access.”<\/p>\n

It’s possible to disable the new protection, but it needs to be requested by an Admin and contact made with G Suite support to make it happen. It’s on by default otherwise, and should be in place for all education users within 15 days, so before the end of July.<\/p>\n

As to why Google is implementing this protection, according to ZDNet<\/a>, students have been known to share the link to a scheduled Google Meet and ask pranksters to crash the video call. The hope being that the teacher gives up on a lesson and they can leave early. Within the coming days, that will no longer be possible, and even if someone does manage to crash a call they will be known by the Google account they used to gain entry with.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
