STOP DEGENERATE USE OF 'CHAT' : SUPPORT SYSTEM UPGRADE REQUEST
In a wide variety of uses for chat, participants can ask questions, engage with content, share information etc. However, as constructive as this option may be, there are some that use it in order to interfere, disrupt, discourage, and inject their personal agendas, uninvited and un-welcomed opinions, offensive or degenerate content into another users platform. I would like to ask for the following options to be added to chat, as the current options lack the ability to address specific zoom customer clientele.
REQUESTING ADDITION OF THE FOLLOWING CUSTOMER OPTIONS: (1) The ability to review chat content BEFORE disseminating to all participants. (2) Limit Chat input to Host and Co-Host Only.
CURRENT CHAT PROTECTIONS ARE LIMITED IN SCOPE: (A) The current HOST ONLY option places limitation on the Host/Presenter, which is not always or readily convenient to the Host. (B) The ability to assign CO-Host the task to insert data to chat that is supportive, constructive, adding to the educational experience is needful across zoom communities. (C) The Webinar tool does not fit all specific zoom user needs. Particularly, older groups of participants who do not find zoom user friendly, requiring additional time to explain systems rather than proceed with the course of instruction. In this case it would increase user-friendly access for the Host who could thn create a team off designated alternates to preview content and eliminate the ability for disruptive and offensive content to be inserted into another users presentation. (D) Turning off Private chat for all users, is simply punishing paying clients and limiting their ability to utilize the Chat option - which is beneficial- for their own in-house creative purposes. (E) Locking the meeting after it starts - again punishes your paying clients and their attendees, who are then restricted from participation because of being tardy. That is not a viable solution for the majority of clients, I would venture to say.
It is extremely regrettable that we even have to advocate for a solution that allows victims of abuse to be able to freely utilize a service they pay for, just in order to obtain full enjoyment of said service, without being attacked with perverted and obscene material or comments. But here we are.
If You find these ideas to be viable or valued solutions, please UPVOTE or GIVE A THUMPS UP to support this change. This is not a complaint against ZOOM so much as it is a plea to provide alternative options that are not All or Nothing choices, that do not work across all avenues. Thank You in advance for your support!
