Zoom has been around for a while without much attention given to it then comes the COVID-19 pandemic<\/a>, and it associated lockdown that forced people to start using remote working tools, of which Zoom is the video conferencing. Zoom already have what it needed to succeed, and it boomed. While zoom has one of the most secure features out there, it is still not devoid of abuse. One thing you need to know about zoom is that the person that host a Zoom meeting has all the rights and privilege including viewing participants IP address.<\/p>\n

As a participant, if you intend to get the IP address of another participant, then you will have to take a different route. Zoom does not allow other users to have control of other data, and you cannot trick other users into using Grabify<\/strong><\/a> from the interface as you would on social media platforms. Interestingly, you also cannot use Wireshark<\/strong><\/a> to eavesdrop on packets. The method you will need to use is simple but not easy. Before going into that, let take a look at what you can do with participant IPs.<\/p>\n\n

<\/span>What You Can Do With a Participant\u2019s IP Address<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

An IP address<\/a> is uniquely assigned to a device, and you can use it to identify the user of that device. While the IP address of someone alone looks meaningless, running it through an IP lookup tool reveals information about the user\u2019s Internet Service Provider (ISP) and geolocation. One of the most popular IP lookup tools is IPinfo.io.<\/p>\n

In other to know the information you can get from a Zoom participant’s IP address, I will suggest you visit www.ipinfo.io<\/a>, and you can see all of the information that an IP address will reveal to you, such as the city, region, country, and ISP related details.<\/p>\n

<\/span>Why You Can\u2019t Get Participant IP Address from Zoom Meetings<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

IP addresses are not private data \u2013 they are public, and your device provides them every time it sends web requests. While most web platforms will keep the IP address hidden from the public, Zoom make it available to the host of a meeting.<\/p>\n

Aside from the admin of a meeting, regular participants are not provided the IPs. Unfortunately, Grabify is highly ineffective, and Wireshark wouldn\u2019t even work as there\u2019s no direct communication \u2013 all traffic go to the Zoom server, and as such, Wireshark will only capture Zoom server’s IPs.<\/p>\n
