Asshats gotta asshat and there are reported cases of such people high jacking Zoom sessions and post hate speech and porn or violently harass users.

Since this is by invite only (since only people here who have signed up will be given the details of the Zoom room), I'd say the risk of hijacking is quite low.

It’s happened in company sessions, invite only. I’m sorry but we decided not to risk it for personal and work related privacy. This is not a reflection on the intent behind this, I think GaD had a good idea and I hope you guys enjoy but we’d rather not risk anything.

And that's fine. Tbh if it all turns out to be a damp squib then I likely won't stay for long anyway.

Sounds like an interesting idea.

I'd join, but I'm so paranoid with spreading my face and voice onto the Internet like this that I'd probably end up turning off my device's camera and use a text-to-speech program to communicate.

I hope you all have fun though.

It's very quick to set up. It took me all of ten minutes to get it installed on my laptop (and that's on Linux, where it's usually somewhat harder to install proprietary software than it is on Windows/Mac). You don't even have to make an account if you only want to join a meeting, you just have to make one to host a meeting.

Join on your phone, a rake in one hand, phone in the other, regularly dropping the rake and drinking whisky. That's multitasking.

From my Zoom using expert friend, the way to prevent people from barging in to the call is to enable the waiting room and the host has to let the person in from the waiting room.
"...I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Council-er or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I can't agree with your methods of direct action;" who paternalistically feels he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by the myth of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait until a "more convenient season." -MLK Jr.
