Team Chat Editing misuse

Hi there!

I'm sorry to hear that you have to deal with such behavior. Zoom Chat does not track message edits or deletions. There are no third-party apps that will do this. This is for privacy and won't be changed. Think of it this way. If you accidentally posted something with personally identifiable information (PII) and then deleted it or edited the PII out of the message, there is no way for anyone to retrieve it from history.

Cheers!

Hi "S".

Thanks for the speedy official Zoom Employee response.

I love the ability to clarify what one has said and when I use it I strikethrough text rather than delete it and *add *a *star to text that I've added.

So that way someone can go ahead and post as much PII or HIPAA data and then just delete the evidence as a Dawn Raid begins? LOL.

It seems ill advised to support deletion of evidence of having posted PII or HIPAA is not an appropriate behavior.  I would suggest that people better consider what they are posting. Furthermore Zoom could also have an escalation procedure for Zoom Employees to help remove self-reported illegal posts as quickly as you replied to this message.

I'll raise the use of such services with my company ethics board. I've made a screen shot of your official zoom employee reply and will include that in my report.

Thanks,

RH
