Trying to help my town public meetings avoid random internet jerks joining the Zoom and spamming racist stuff.

How do these kids usually find public Zoom meetings to harass?

Trying random IDs?

Searching/scraping the web for Zoom links?

What do other places do with public Zoom meetings to minimize this?

Lots of suggestions for the Zoom Webinars product (instead of Meetings), which looks great, except it says it's made for 500+ attendees and costs a LOT more money… for reference, our town meetings usually have a remote audience of about 20 people.

@marcoarment I could be wrong because Zoom is confusing, but I think requiring pre-registration is an option even for normal (non-webinar) meetings: https://support.zoom.com/hc/en/article?id=zm_kb&sysparm_article=KB0065026 (at least this is true of my enterprise account)

It is no silver bullet, but at least you can check for suspicious email addresses ahead of time.
