Digital Signage is great on video endpoints but not if your endpoint is in standby. The macro below moves the standby timers around so you can leave digital signage running during the day but put your endpoint to sleep at night.

What's happening at Zoom? Article references to catch you up
Below are references to recent articles on Zoom security and privacy issues. Some are covering the same topic but it gives a sense of the number of problems by such a wide coverage. I am not going to comment on what is below, I will leave it up to the reader to decide what is best for their own security and privacy and if you should use or continue to use Zoom. There were additional articles but these are the most interesting. I am not a fact checker or other to verify the information included in these articles. The references are in no particular order but the first three articles give a good overview of most the recent issues.
