Zoom is rolling out a new feature designed to verify whether meeting participants are real people, as concerns grow over AI-generated avatars and deepfakes.
The company has partnered with World, a digital identity platform, to introduce a system that can confirm user identities during video calls.
The feature uses what is called “World ID” technology, which verifies users by comparing multiple data points, including a registered identity image, a live facial scan, and real-time video during a meeting.
Once verified, participants will receive a “Verified Human” badge, helping others confirm their authenticity.
Meeting hosts can require identity verification before allowing participants to join, while users can also trigger verification requests mid-call.
The move comes as AI-generated avatars become more advanced, making it harder to distinguish between real users and synthetic identities in virtual meetings.
Zoom’s rollout reflects a broader industry trend toward identity verification tools, as platforms look to address risks tied to deepfakes and impersonation.
The feature is part of Zoom’s effort to strengthen trust in online communication as AI continues to evolve.
