Trolls break into meetings on Zoom

I'm speculating, but they might find it more convenient to use a separate device for the video chat? Especially if you're using your laptop a lot during the video call, it's quite convenient to have the chat open elsewhere.

Esp considering I have had the zoom app completely crash my laptop multiple times.

Given how cavalier zoom is about privacy and its history on the Mac, the only place I'd be willing to use it is on my phone or ipad where it's boxed in by Apple's restrictions and has undergone app review. Apple had to push a silent OS update to remove zoom's insecure secret web server.

How the heck is Zoom even HIPAA compliant?

Zoom claiming it's compliant has nothing to do with it actually being compliant.

If they have filed the paperwork[0] then they are. (Whether their solution to be compliant is or is not enough would have to be audited.)

Apple's FaceTime is not HIPAA compliant because they haven't filed the paperwork.[1]

(Obviously, there are a lot more steps to it than signing a Business Associate agreement, but I would bet FaceTime is probably a little more secure than Zoom)

And what about GDPR?

Microphone quality is still not a solved problem on laptops, and Windows' sound preferences UI does not make it easy to switch to a Bluetooth headset (that is, if you even have one on you).

Works for them I guess but when screensharing especially for code, mobile phones and tablets don’t work well.

I doubt they code for a living.
