Alan Levine shares his experience with a "sleazy outfit" called WebinarTV that surreptitiously records what it calls public webinars and puts them up on its website. As Levine explains, "Just because you set up registration, it does not protect your webinar. You actually have to do extra work of approving registrations or verifying attendees, adding special links/passcodes to 'protect' your events from being taken by WebinarTV. You have to create barriers of access for event participation." How are they doing this? "Most people will assume that they are somehow registering bots to attend events and record, like notetaking ones. This is not what's happening, IMHO," says Levine. This would mean they're accessing the recordings somehow directly from Zoom. But Zoom says WebinarTV "accesses meetings using links that have been shared publicly, then records the sessions using browser extension or 'other tools.'" See also this report from CyberAlberta.
