Restricting Vanity Meeting IDs
When users schedule meetings, by default they may assign vanity (custom or
common) meeting IDs, such as 1234. Although vanity meeting IDs are easier
for meeting participants to remember and identify, you may want to restrict
their use. Doing so adds a level of security and prevents unauthorized users
or hackers from easily guessing the ID and gaining access to the meeting.

Note: To protect meeting IDs that can be hacked easily (such as
1234 or ABCD), create zero-port continuous meetings and
assign those meeting IDs. Limit those meetings to invitees only,
and don’t invite other people.
