[Ads-l] zoom-bomb, zoom bombing, zoombombing

[ADSGarson O'Toole]

Mark Mandel mentioned Zoom, the video conferencing system whose
popularity has surged because of the pandemic. Numerous articles have
appeared in recent days about trolls joining teleconferences and
causing disruption by transmitting video and audio deemed offensive by
participants.

The behavior has been called "zoombombing". This seems to be an
analogical construction based on "photobombing".
