The software experienced a surge in use during the COVID-19 pandemic while garnering criticism for security and privacy bugs.
Now, the team behind the application says a new version will add support for better encryption and give hosts the ability to report other users through a dedicated security icon.
"Hosts can require all participants to register for the meeting, where they enter their first name, last name, email address, and other information, which the host can then confirm. Hosts can also use the security icon to disable the ability for participants to rename themselves," the firm said in a blog post.
The changes come as part of a 90-day security plan that was put in place after Zoom CEO Eric Yuan conceded the app had"fallen short of the community's privacy and security expectations."
