On April 16, between 2:25 P.M. ET and 4:12 P.M. ET, the domain zoom.us was not available due to a server block by GoDaddy Registry. This block was the result of a communication error between Zoom’s domain registrar, Markmonitor, and GoDaddy Registry, which resulted in GoDaddy Registry mistakenly shutting down zoom.us domain. Zoom, Markmonitor, and GoDaddy worked quickly to identify and remove the block, which restored service to the domain zoom.us. There was no product, security or network failure at Zoom during the outage. GoDaddy and Markmonitor are working together to prevent this from happening again.

Hi Sir/Maam,
During my meeting with my students, there is an unfamiliar name enter the waiting room. The person wrote a vulgar word as display name. After awhile, the person left - May I know how to detect the ID of this stranger?
Thank you.

Hi @cp_yap
If your meeting did not require registration or authentication, there is almost no way to identify.
If the text in the name was in some way threatening or abusive (see Community Standards) you could certainly report the incident to Zoom - by following the link below.
If the offender only entered the Waiting Room, the text/name would have only been visible to the Hosts/Co-Hosts.

The Waiting Room is a security measure. In your case it seems to have worked.
Hope this helps.
