| If I have the number/meeting code, will people be able to see my phone number or name somehow? |

| Yes. If you dial in, they will see your phone number. You can’t be anon on a Zoom call. |

| However, you could call in from a # they might not recognize. I wonder if you could dial in from a google voice # you set up? |

| I think you can change your name on your profile. |

| Ew, what kind of creep wants to join a zoom anonymously? |

| You can call in from a Google Home device and be anonymous. But you shouldn't. If I saw someone anonymous on my Zoom, I wouldn't say a word until after I'd booted them off. |

Depends on how hey set up zoom.
Now I think it defaults to having the host admit people, and presumably they wouldn't admit you if they didn't know who you are |

The meeting host has the ability to kick you off of the call. That's what I do when people obscure their names, don't give a recognizable identifier or don't use the video. |

Maybe online 12 step meetings? Or other sensitive support groups? |

Why would you need to do that anonymously? If you're part of the HOA, you have every right to listen to the meetings. |

Nope. I have been attending some on line 12 step meetings via zoom. We all have names. First names only, but yeah, we have names and can be seen. You can do audio only if you wanted to I suppose. And I suppose, if it was a big meeting, you could have a fake name, but you can only join the meeting at the invitation of the host, so . . . |
