Trolls have started invading public Zoom calls to share porn - here's how to change your settings to make your chat safer

When you open Zoom on your computer, you'll see the "Settings" menu on the left-hand side. Click on that ...

... and scroll down until you get to this section. The "Screen sharing" setting is automatically toggled to "on" — turn that feature off.

This is best to do before a call, but if you forget, there's a way to do it during a call as well.

While you're at it, disable "File transfer," too. It's automatically toggled on, but this would allow anyone to send you a file during a call. If you're doing public Zoom calls, definitely toggle this to "off" as well.
