Question

Will zoom receive a screenshot when reporting offenders?

Hi,

I am a tech host for an anonymous 12-Step group (AA). We are frequently affected by Zoom Bombers. I know about the option to report them to zoom, but there are rumours that when doing so, a screenshot of the entire meeting will automatically be taken and sent to zoom. Of course this would be a no-go for an anonymous group.

Are these rumours true?

TIA,

Heinrich 

P.S.: I apologise in advance if this should be a FAQ, but searching did not raise any precise information.

    ​@Heinrich_Bremen Could you blur out the attendees faces before sharing the screenshot?

      I am not willingly creating or sharing any screenshot. My question was: “Is a screenshot automatically taken and sent to zoom if I report an offender”

        Understood. Zoom can access meeting and participant data. ​@Heinrich_Bremen

          meeting and participant data

          Thanks for the info. Will this include all participant’s data or only those of the offender? Like I said before, as an anonymous group we are very fussy about data protection.
