Are my Zoom workshop meetings being hacked?

I was hosting a workshop today and had about 20 people on with me when my Zoom client completely froze.

I couldn't see their comments
They couldn't see me change the slides I was sharing
and I lost total control of the controls - I couldn't access them at all

They could still hear me and interact with each other.

I couldn't even leave the meeting and join again. To end the meeting I had to shut down my PC.

 

My 1-1 meetings have been fine, it's only these large ones I have a problem with. I have a 100meg fibre line so my internet isn't a problem.

The same thing happened 2 weeks ago when I was hosting another workshop with about 40 people.

Am wondering if my Zoom meetings are being hacked somehow?

Any ideas??

    That is unlikely to be hacking problem. It sounds more like a software or hardware performance issue.

     

    Are you using features like transcription or closed captions?

     

    Is your Zoom client up-to-date?

    No, your Zoom workshop meetings are not being hacked. However, there have been some reports of so-called "zoo bombing," where uninvited guests crash Zoom meetings and disrupt them. To prevent this from happening to your meeting while Training Workshops, make sure that you have a strong password set up, and that only person who is supposed to
