Zoom, a popular video conferencing platform, has played a crucial role in facilitating virtual meetings during the pandemic. 

. However, recent technical challenges and glitches experienced during PH meetings have raised concerns about the reliability of the platform. These issues range from audio and video disruptions to connectivity problems that hinder effective communication and decision-making. 

Security and Privacy Concerns: In addition to technical difficulties, security and privacy concerns have also contributed to the decision to eliminate Zoom broadcasts for PH meetings. 

The platform has faced scrutiny due to incidents of unauthorized access to meetings (known as "Zoom bombings") and concerns about data privacy. 

These incidents have sparked a need for heightened security measures to protect sensitive information shared during PH discussions. 

Public health officials are exploring other video conferencing solutions that offer robust security features and enhanced technical stability.
