Viral social media posts are alleging that Zoom’s private messages aren’t really private—if you’re chatting privately during a Zoom meeting, the host can see your entire conversation. Is that true? Well, not exactly.

病毒式社交媒體帖子聲稱Zoom的私人消息并不是真正的私人消息-如果您在Zoom會議期間私下聊天，主持人可以看到您的整個對話。 真的嗎？ 好吧，不完全是。

私人消息如何縮放 (How Private Messages Work in Zoom)

Private messages work just like you’d expect them to. If you send a message to just a specific person, only you and that person can see the message. Zoom’s official website confirms this, saying “Private messages between participants are not viewable by the host.”

私人消息的工作方式與您期望的一樣。 如果您僅將消息發送給特定的人，則只有您和該人才能看到該消息。 Zoom的官方網站對此進行了確認，稱“主持人無法查看參與者之間的私人消息。”

Hosts can choose whether private messages are permitted or disable chat completely. However, if private messages between two people are allowed, the meeting host can’t see what those two people are saying to each other.

主持人可以選擇是否允許私人消息或完全禁用聊天。 但是，如果允許兩個人之間的私人消息，會議主持人將看不到兩個人在互相說什么。

錄音和成績單包含您的私人留言 (Recordings and Transcripts Contain Your Private Messages)

So how did private messages ever get discovered? Well, one culprit is Zoom’s recording feature. If you record an entire meeting or just the chat from a meeting, private messages visible to you are included in your recording.

那么如何發現私人消息呢？ 嗯，罪魁禍首是Zoom的錄制功能。 如果您記錄整個會議或僅記錄會議中的聊天，則記錄中會包含您可以看到的私人消息。

When a Zoom meeting participant saves the chat associated with a meeting, it saves every single message that was visible to them. In other words, the host won’t see private messages unless you send those message directly to the host.

Zoom會議參與者保存與會議關聯的聊天時，會保存他們可見的每條消息。 換句話說，除非您將私信直接發送給主機，否則主機將不會看到私信。

However, let’s say you record a work meeting or online lecture. Maybe you were?saying some unflattering things about your coworkers or teacher in private messages to someone else during that Zoom meeting. You then then shared your recording or chat transcript with a fellow employee or student who missed it. They could see all the private messages you sent and received during the meeting.

但是，假設您錄制了一個工作會議或在線講座。 在Zoom會議期間，您可能在私人消息中向同事或老師說了一些令人不愉快的事情。 然后，您與錯過它的同事或學生分享了您的錄音或聊天記錄。 他們可以看到您在會議期間發送和接收的所有私人消息。

If you keep the recordings to yourself, the messages stay private. However, if you share the recording with someone else, that person can see the private messages.

如果您將錄音保存給自己，則消息將保持私密狀態。 但是，如果您與其他人共享錄音，則該人可以看到私人消息。

Maybe you realize this—but, if someone you sent private messages to shares their recording, private messages you sent to them are included in their recording.

也許您意識到了這一點，但是，如果您發送私人消息的人分享了他們的錄音，那么您發送給他們的私人消息將包含在他們的錄音中。

For example, here’s what a saved Zoom chat log containing private messages looks like. The private messages appear and are marked “Privately”:

例如，這是包含私人消息的已保存Zoom聊天日志的外觀。 私人消息出現并標記為“私人”：

14:39:23 From Chris : Obviously we all agree that pineapple on pizza is a travesty. 14:39:33 From Chris to Bob(Privately) : Don’t tell anyone I said this, but pineapple on pizza is fine. 14:39:52 From Chris : Now how do we all feel about pepperoni?

14:39:23來自克里斯：很顯然，我們都同意比薩餅上的菠蘿是一種怪誕。 14:39:33從克里斯到鮑勃(私下)：別跟我說這個，但披薩上的菠蘿沒問題。 14:39:52來自克里斯：現在，我們對意大利辣香腸的感覺如何？

If you shared the chat log with another person, they’d see the private messages you sent and received during the meeting. That’s the real privacy threat.

如果您與其他人共享聊天記錄，他們將在會議期間看到您發送和接收的私人消息。 那才是真正的隱私威脅。

也許不要放大發送敏感的私人消息 (Maybe Don’t Send Sensitive Private Messages on Zoom)

It’s probably best to avoid sending potentially sensitive private messages on Zoom and use another chat client during Zoom meetings if you’re sending messages you want to stay private

如果要發送要保密的消息，最好避免在Zoom上發送可能敏感的私人消息，并在Zoom會議期間使用另一個聊天客戶端。

It’s easy to accidentally send a message publicly instead of privately, and most people don’t understand the finer points of how Zoom records private messages along with public ones.

意外地公開發送消息而不是私下發送消息很容易，并且大多數人不了解Zoom記錄私人消息和公開消息的細節。

However, the Zoom meeting host can’t actually see your private messages—not unless you send them (or a recording containing them) to the host. That’s not what you need to worry about.

但是，Zoom會議主持人實際上看不到您的私人消息，除非您將其發送給主持人(或包含它們的錄音)。 那不是您需要擔心的。

Hi there – the host of the meeting does *not* receive private messages, even if they download the meeting log!

嗨，大家好-即使會議主持人下載了會議日志，也不會*接收他們的私人消息！

By the way, Zoom doesn’t monitor which apps you’re using on a call and send that information to the host, either. The host can see whether you have the Zoom window in focus on your screen in some situations, but that’s all.

順便說一下， Zoom不會監視您在通話中使用的應用程序，也不會將該信息發送給主機。 在某些情況下，主持人可以查看屏幕上是否有縮放窗口，僅此而已。
