Zoom-Bomb Discussion with a piece of good news
Hello Tech Geeks Community,
As we all are settling in this new normal, things now certainly feel less overwhelming. We have built our routines, understood the buzzwords, and are slowly learning to take the crisis one day at a time.
With the help of digital epidemiology tools, chatbot helpers, EHR guidance tools, and rapid-response test kits, the tech industry is on a constant search for solutions to the spread of the disease with a big push for vaccine and medicine research. We are all ears!
However, It’s not all glitters...
This past week, the dominant discussion in the community was about the post I made regarding my horrible zoom-bomb experience. It turned out, I was not alone. In the same thread, many people highlighted how they have been in the sessions that got raided.
While we are here, here’s an interesting tweet to keep your virtual meetings safe.
So, in this week’s newsletter, we’re all for listening to your concerns about the tools you are using. If you have ever had a similar experience, reach out to me personally or the community to know how you can use these tools safely.
