I'm not absolutely certain, from the write-up, that this qualifies as a driveby, but it seems an interesting set of options to get people to have video, and possibly audio, enabled when they join a call, whatever options they think they've set.

Also, if you've ever installed Zoom, and uninstalled it, there seems to be an intriguing "auto-reinstall" function that's left some stuff running on your device ...
