Zoom has a paid feature to view processes of other meeting attendees. Yes. Scary.

This seems to be a viral inaccuracy: https://www.howtogeek.com/664624/does-zoom-really-monitor-wh...

That article claims that Zoom does have a feature allowing hosts to see whether people have the zoom window focused while someone is presenting, but it doesn't allow the host to actually see running processes. Note that I can't, nor do I claim to, vouch for the accuracy of the explanation in the link. Just something I found.

It used to but it was removed.

I don't believe that, would be way too scary. Do you have a link?
Can you explain this? Not sure how to look this up
