Thanks for the PR! Left one review.

| - **Use the waiting room** — requires the host to manually admit each | ||

There are two ways to use the waiting room — reactive and proactive. The Moderation section above covers the reactive use: sending a participant to the waiting room during a live meeting via Host Tools. But since bots join the moment a meeting opens, the in-meeting toggle might be too late.
Per waiting room documentation, hosts can enable the waiting room as a standing setting before the meeting starts via zoom.us → Settings → Meeting → Security → Waiting Room. It would be worth adding the setup path or linking the documentation here so hosts configure it before going live rather than trying to manage it mid-meeting.
Updated the wording from 'data exposure' to 'privacy' to enhance clarity regarding the risks of unauthorized recording.

Instead of focusing on remediation techniques, we need to create language stating that AI notetakers are not allowed at community meetings. The remediation methods are still up for debate; none of them are great options and all of them create work/processes for someone else. The language and the remediation suggestions need to both be done thoughtfully. Let's focus on the language that AI notetakers are not allowed; then we can work with Zoom Admins, SIGs, and Steering on remediation methods. It's vitally important that we don't turn off potential new contributors because of hastily implemented remediations meant to fix what is a mild inconvenience at the beginning of community meetings. |

| The most effective defense is preventing these bots from joining in the first |

@chris-short do you want to remove everything after this line?

Yes, keep the part about removing notetakers if they're in the meeting, though.

Fixes #9030
Adds a new section to
communication/zoom-guidelines.mdrecommending hosts:This avoids maintaining a domain block list or marketplace app block list — authentication is the primary defense since bots join as anonymous guests.
