How It Works<\/p>\n
The feature uses World\u2019s World ID Deep Face technology, which employs a three-step process to confirm a participant\u2019s authenticity. This includes cross-referencing a signed image from the user\u2019s registration,\u00a0a real-time face scan from\u00a0the user\u2019s\u00a0device, and a live video\u00a0frame visible to other meeting\u00a0participants. A \u201cVerified Human\u201d badge will appear on a participant\u2019s title only when all three verifications match.<\/p>\n
According to Zoom, Deep Face Waiting Room requires participants to verify they are real humans before joining.\u00a0Participants can also request mid-call\u00a0verification from others. <\/p>\n
