Don't forget that many recurring meetings reuse the same password.

If you can choose the password, people will also use passwords they use for other things.

I agree, but the point I'm trying to make is that the time to guess the password isn't too big of an issue for passwords that never change. Ideally, Zoom would generate a password for each instance of a meeting.

Failing that, having some better factor for authentication (known email or number for a given company's Zoom setup) would make it harder to get in simply by guessing a short password.
