World Plans Zoom Waiting Room Checks for Its Identity Tools

World plans to let Zoom meeting hosts require World ID verification in a waiting room before participants enter, extending its identity tools into video meetings.

World ID for Zoom is available to enterprise customers through Zoom Marketplace. The upcoming check will let hosts make verification a condition of entry.

The feature extends World's finance and Zoom identity suite, introduced Oct. 18. Its tools can check whether someone is a unique human, is present during an interaction or meets a selected requirement such as age.

The suite also includes AgentKit, which lets developers build AI agents that use delegated World ID proofs. AgentKit remains in beta. Initial design partners for the finance tools include Bain Capital, OpenExchange, Outtake, Pantera Capital and VanEck Funds.
