Zoom Boss Says It'll Freeze Feature Updates to Address

"For the past several weeks, supporting this influx of users has been a tremendous undertaking and our sole focus," Yuan wrote in a blog post. "However, we recognize that we have fallen short of the community's -- and our own -- privacy and security expectations."

Zoom will enact a 90-day feature freeze, meaning it'll stop adding new features, so it can address those privacy issues.

The video meeting app's security has come into focus in recent days, from its tattle-tale attention-tracking feature to uninvited attendees "Zoom-bombing" meetings. New York Attorney General Letitia James sent a letter demanding action from the company on Monday, while security researchers on Wednesday discovered bugs that might let hackers seize control of webcams and microphones on Zoom users' Macs.

Also Wednesday, Elon Musk's SpaceX reportedly banned employees from using Zoom altogether.
