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.

How to best avoid unwanted visitors to our meetings

I belong to a group that meets every single week.  Participants join the meeting by entering a meeting ID and an associated password.   The current Host represents a single point of failure, but has been reluctant to share the Host Role because of stated concerns about "hackers and trolls."  (I don't get the connection, but... )  My thought is that we simply set up the regularly, recurring weekly meetings using the Meeting Room feature so whoever is the Host has to admit any participant before the participant can enter the meeting.  Is this correct?  Are there other options?  Am I missing something?

You are correct - the Waiting Room function may be used instead of a password if this is preferred, as long as the host's account admin has not locked requirement of passwords for meetings.
