Relief On Hand From Endless Video Meetings

by John Lister on April, 22 2021 at 02:04PM EDT

Microsoft is to make it easier to build breaks into videoconferencing schedules. The move is designed to overcome a mismatch between technology "efficiency" and the real world.

by John Lister on October, 28 2020 at 02:10PM EDT

Zoom is to completely encrypt video calls at all times for most users. It will mean neither Zoom itself nor law enforcement agents or security services can access the content of calls. At the moment, Zoom encrypts the data that flows between ... individual participants on a call. However, it's Zoom's own servers which generate the encryption key issued to each participant. That means it's technically possible for Zoom to decrypt calls.

Zoom Video Conferencing a Major Risk on Windows 7

by John Lister on July, 13 2020 at 02:07PM EDT

Windows 7 computers running the Zoom videoconferencing tool are at risk from a "zero day" vulnerability. It's a reminder of the dangers of an outdated operating system.
