Tricia,
Thank you for your interest and comments.
A couple of comments:
1. There is no search in the web-iverse which will disclose these LINKS directly
2. Your and other's comments have brought to light that the problem of intruders in a Zoom conversation has always been present and SURELY Zoom has incorporated a method to secure Zoom conversations.
3. Last night I found it! It's a pure Zoom solution with no Bill Jones coding involved.
Once I have tested and proved this trap door security measure I will reply to you via PM later this morning.
My concern didn't factor in the web-i-verse, just the considerable number of people (members and outsiders both) who can and do peruse the LV forum. We can't vouch for anyone not to abuse a non-hosted Zoom ID#, whoever owns it.
As to Zoom solutions, they have an Admit feature, which can be turned off by the host so anyone with the ID# may join. I try to remember to turn Admit off once our meeting commences, because it's hard to remember to check the sidebar to see if anyone wants in. So far nobody has crashed the party.
Once you and Tricia have privately discussed what should be done, I hope you'll share your conclusions here. Others may wish to have input as well. For example what about the idea of an informal neighborhood style "Zoom cafe" where Librivoxers can pop in and out from, say 6-9 a.m. and 6-9 p.m. every day, see who's there, say hi, talk about anything at all (unhosted, unmonitored and unrecorded), like at a local pub or coffee shop. It has intriguing possibilities!
