In the era of pandemic and social distancing, many people are using the technology of video conferencing to conduct business and stay in touch with family and friends. This modern technology invented by humans & has brought the whole world closer.
Due to this modern technology, our life has changed radically. Today, we can stay connected with each other, through video conferencing on a single click.
But when we use video conferencing then it becomes important to take care of some things. Especially when some people can misuse it. Therefore, we need to take precautions of using modern technology.
Governments officials of some countries have warned about some such video conferencing apps, saying that due to technical glitches in some applications, the use of such apps can be risky.
At this time, due to the lockdown in all major parts of the world, education has stopped in school colleges. In such a situation, almost all educational institutions have started online classes to prevent the educational loss of students.
Through video conferencing, there is direct communication between students and teachers, this encourages students towards education. But at the same time, we also have to consider these things whether the technology used today is safe or not.
Important precautions while using Zoom meeting app
In recent times, most educational institutions are using the Zoom Meeting App for studies and meetings. Today it has become a necessity to teach students through video conferencing applications like Zoom and to organize online meetings for the planning of education and businesses.But before using this app, it is necessary to know some important factual things.
For the past few weeks, warnings have been issued by the governments of many countries to those using the Zoom app. Some users received threats by hackers or received racist comments from unwanted people.
According to the Indian government, the Zoom App is not sufficiently safe. This is a Chinese app. This app is not protected with end-to-end encryption. Through this app, all the information of the user can be hacked and stolen.
If you are having a meeting or taking an online class through the Zoom Meeting App when an outsider or cybercriminals can hack it completely and can steal information about your meeting or class.
Apart from this, by sending malware, your Zoom Meeting App can also be hacked. If proper precaution is not taken, sometimes there may be a disturbance in your meeting or class, or there may be an exchange of wrong information.
One such incident came to light in South Africa. Here, a woman minister of the country organized a meeting to give information about Coronavirus through Zoom App. The meeting was going well that, suddenly hackers hacked this meeting in the middle and suddenly pornographic photos started appearing in it.
Everyone was shocked and ashamed to see this. Later, the government also had to apologize for this incident. This incident happens to anyone. Today, the business of stealing personal information around the world is in full swing. Therefore, at least if we take care of using such an app, it is good for us.

* While using the zoom app or before starting the meeting, keep changing your ID name and password every time. Try to keep the password as complex as possible.* It is necessary to enable the option of the waiting room of the app by the meeting host so that every person who attends the meeting, must first obtain the permission of the host.
