My Video Meeting Was Attacked And I'm Deeply Sorry

I sincerely apologize for what happened

Friends, I’m physically sick as I write this. Today, I tried to do a video meeting. We were about halfway through when the meeting was attacked by several accounts I didn’t recognize. They began posting pornographic and racist content so I had to end the meeting.

I’m so sorry that you had to see that. I did my best to mute the hostile accounts, but there were so many that I just had to end the meeting.

It was awful. I’m trembling right now with anger and disgust.

I think I’ll have to go back to the old strategy of only offering video meetings to paid subscribers and I’ll use the waiting room again. I did not expect for anything like this to happen and I wasn’t prepared for it.

I’m trembling right now. I’m so disgusted by what was done to us.

I guess there are hostile people out there paying attention to what we do here. It’s simply a sad reflection on what’s going on in the world today.

Again, you have my deepest apologies. I will come back stronger the next time.

[Update]

I sent in a report to the provider. I must have hit “report” in my desperate efforts to remove some of the accounts. I received an email from asking for more information. So I’ll post more information as it becomes available.

Zoom sent me a report with further steps to take.
