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.

I help run Zoom for our Sunday church services with about 50 or 60 Zoom attendees. We use the waiting room feature. Anyone not recognized can maybe have a few questions asked. As someone else mentioned, we also turn on most of the restrictions (don’t allow people to unmute themselves, no whiteboard or screen sharing, etc). During open comment time, people can raise their virtual hand and the host can unmute them, and be quick with the mute button if the speaker is an ass.
