Resident says county blocked Zoom app access; commissioners approve minutes, resolutions and vouchers

Charlie Attabill, a Brunswick resident, told Middlesex County meeting hosts during public comment that the county has been preventing people from joining meetings through the Zoom app and asked officials to restore that access.

Attabill said he had been able to join previously but that when he tries to enter the webinar ID and passcode provided by the county the Zoom app reports “you have the wrong password.” “And the reason for that is because you've purposely set up the meeting to bar people from using the Zoom app,” Attabill said. He added that forcing callers to join by phone reduces accessibility and “the only effect of it is that some people might be trying to join and they're being denied the ability to join.”
