It's the third week of quarantine and feels like the 11th. The Sleuths talk about life from home, binge-watching, zoom calls, all things virtual. We also discuss some great shows to enjoy during the stay-at-home order.

Show Notes

We unpack the state fo things in our "new normal" during the pandemic. 

Jamie explains Zoombombing, where hackers are taking over Zoom calls to put offensive, sexual, or racist stuff up on the screen during the virtual meeting and what you can do to prevent this kind of activity on your next Zoom meeting. Zoom went from 10 million to 200 million users in a couple of months.

Here are some best practices for Zoom:
  • Add two-factor authentification
  • Learn how to remove people from meetings
  • Don't use your personal zoom meeting ID
  • Have people wait in the waiting room instead of joining automatically
