Zoom’s Bug Bounty Program incentivizes the discovery and responsible disclosure of security vulnerabilities. Here's a look at the past year's highlights.

At Zoom, security isn’t just a feature — it’s foundational to everything we build. We’re excited to share the remarkable progress we’ve made through our bug bounty initiatives in partnership with HackerOne. This year represented our strongest commitment yet to crowdsourced security, engaging with nearly 1000 talented researchers worldwide to make our products more secure for millions of people.

Our multi-layered security approach

This year, we continued our strategic approach of running multiple complementary programs:

• Public “VDP” Bug Bounty Program: our front door for the global security researcher community
• Private Program: working closely with select researchers on sensitive features
• Zoom VIP: collaborating with elite researchers on our most critical systems
• Specialized challenges: targeted security initiatives for emerging products

“Our multi-tiered approach lets us match the right security talent with the right testing environments,” explained Sandra McLeod, interim Chief Information Security Officer at Zoom. “This strategy delivered exceptional results throughout 2024.”

By the numbers: A year of security wins

Our bug bounty programs saw impressive engagement this year, with hundreds of unique vulnerabilities identified and addressed. Zoom’s engineering team’s efforts have resulted in a significant reduction in the average time-to-fix compared to previous years. Average time to resolution improved by over 90% from February 2024 to January 2025, and researcher participation doubled during the same period. According to HackerOne, the Zoom Bug Bounty program is among the top 10 with regard to bounty payouts across their entire platform. The statistics tell a compelling story: our security team resolved critical issues before they could be exploited, protecting our users while rewarding the talented researchers who help safeguard our platform.

Notable security improvements

Several standout vulnerabilities discovered through our programs led to key security improvements, including:

• Enhanced authentication mechanisms across multiple services
• Hardened API endpoints against emerging exploitation techniques
• Strengthened data access controls in our cloud infrastructure
• Refined permission systems in our collaboration tools

Each vulnerability addressed represents not just a patch, but a learning opportunity that has made our entire development process more secure.

Celebrating our security researchers

Behind every vulnerability report is a dedicated security researcher who chose to work with us to make Zoom more secure. We’re immensely grateful to this community and proud to highlight some exceptional contributors:

• Several researchers achieved “elite” status in our program this year
• Our top contributor identified 12 significant vulnerabilities
• We welcomed hundreds of first-time reporters to our program

“The relationship between Zoom and the security research community has never been stronger,” noted our Bug Bounty program manager Clara Andress. “The collaborative atmosphere has fostered mutual respect and produced outstanding security outcomes.”

Looking ahead: Security in 2025

As we enter the new year, we’re excited to announce several enhancements to our bug bounty initiatives:

• Expanded scope to include our newest product offerings
• Increased bounty amounts across all severity levels
• Faster triage process through enhanced automation
• More specialized challenge events focused on emerging technologies

Our commitment remains unwavering: to build the most secure communications platform possible through open collaboration with the security community.

Zoom Workplace for Frontline is a mobile-first solution tailored for industries like retail, healthcare, and manufacturing, where frontline workers need efficient on-shift communication and task management tools. Key features include auto-generated shift-based chat groups, real-time activity feeds, shift swapping, and task tracking—all accessible via the mobile app. The integration of AI Companion provides automated shift summaries and smart search capabilities, streamlining daily operations.

A standout feature is the push-to-talk (PTT) functionality, which enables instant voice communication at the press of a button. This feature, reminiscent of traditional walkie-talkies, allows employees to connect seamlessly without the need for additional hardware. It's especially beneficial in environments where quick, hands-free communication is essential.

For managing tasks and tracking progress, Zoom Workplace for Frontline offers robust tools. Another feature is the Activity Center which provides a centralized location to view and manage tasks, ensuring that frontline workers can stay organized and focused on their responsibilities.

Additionally, another feature called scheduling tracking fields for shift management which supports shift swapping, allowing employees to request and manage shift changes directly from their mobile devices. This feature enhances flexibility and ensures adequate staffing levels.

These innovations reflect Zoom's commitment to providing versatile solutions that cater to both frontline workers and knowledge-based teams, aiming to improve connectivity, efficiency, and overall workplace productivity.

Good afternoon

At first, I would like to mention that my performance in the English language is far from being the best.
I would like to know if anyone else is getting an error message like mine.
I get a message that the file igdb9dxva64.dll is not designed to run on Windows. Tell me the error status is 0xc0000005.
Can anyone inform me of the possible causes of this error?

El Panel de Control para Administradores y Propietarios lleva años disponible para cuentas con licencias Business o superior.

Hoy les traigo una vista rápida de su nuevo diseño y la información que podemos extraer gracias a esta herramienta. Con la nueva página de inicio del Panel de Control tendremos acceso a novedades de Zoom así como un vistazo rápido al uso que le están dando los usuarios de nuestra cuenta a sus licencias y herramientas. Y por supuesto, todo esto conservando las funciones presentes en la versión anterior del Panel de Control (monitorización en vivo del sistema/producto, acceso a datos históricos, etc).

Echémosle un vistazo al siguiente video demostrativo creado con Zoom Clips:

IMPORTANTE: es posible que la nueva versión del Panel de Control aún no esté disponible en su región pero llegará muy pronto.

Espero que este post les haya resultado útil. No duden en dejar comentarios sobre funciones y herramientas que quieren que comentemos en el futuro.

¡Hasta la próxima!

How many hoops do I have to jump through to get support from Zoom?

If I'm already logged into my Zoom account, why do I have to log in separately to Zoom support?

It looks simple to click "Give Feedback," but then there is an entire page of instructions on how to get help. Then when you finally get to a form to submit feedback, you have to filter through 20+ different options so you can help Zoom figure out which tiny arm of their expansive corporate structure should receive your question. 

Unreal. If Zoom has AI, how about using AI to do some of the work currently dumped on customers? I should be able to type a simple question. I wanted to ask why Norma from SuperNormal has decided to crash every one of my Zoom meetings without my permission. 

Google makes it easy to ask a question. Why can't Zoom do the same? 

p.s. - Couldn't even submit this post. "Correct the highlighted errors and try again." I neglected to "label" my message. Again, something AI could do. Too bad they don't know AI.
