Comment by telmop | original | Zoom activated my mic and played "recording in progress" at 4AM
[−]telmop · 2026-08-30 Sun 13:04 UTC · link
Last night at 4:00 AM, my Pixel 7 woke me up with Zoom's native voice prompt "Recording in progress", with the green mic indicator active on screen.

My phone was idle on my nightstand out of reach and no Bluetooth device was connected. No Zoom account signed in and no active meeting. I uninstalled the app immediately after taking the screenshot, so I don't have access to any logs. After waking up this morning I realized I shouldn't have uninstalled. Is there any way to get logs of what happened now?

I don't know what caused this, but it got me more paranoid about what runs on my phone. Has anyone experienced anything similar?

You could start with a data subject access request: https://zoom-privacy.my.onetrust.com/webform/65962359-ef0d-4....

That is definitely not one shady looking URL.

At least I could walk right up to JD Power and shake His hand.
