An online, viral act in which people, like hackers and YouTubers, hack into Zoom sessions for the sole purpose of showing everyone else in the calls/sessions shocking porn, gore images/videos, and generally disturbing and offensive content via Zoom's screen-broadcasting and webcam features.
It's only recently become an issue because of how many kids and workers are at home due to the Coronavirus/COVID-19 pandemic. As a result of so many new users flooding the platform and the media giving it tons of attention, trolls, hackers, and other kinds of people have decided to strike while the iron's hot, so to speak, and hack into people's Zoom sessions for no other reason than entertaining themselves.

Simon: Then what happened?
Timmy: He turned on his screen-broadcasting feature and began playing videos of guys fucking dogs!

Timmy: There's some really fucked-up people in this world, huh?
Simon: That includes people who like zoombombing, right?

A method of trolling in which the ZoomBomber uses Zoom’s video conferencing App screensharing feature to interrupt an online meeting with the most shocking and disturbing videos they can find, and often mix together in a potpourri violent, pornographic, wtf fetish mixture of multiple revolting images that can leave a lasting impression on the meeting goers.
