The integration uses iris-scanned biometrics to display a blue badge confirming the presence of a unique human during video calls.

World, co-founded by Sam Altman, announced that Zoom and several major financial companies are adopting its World ID technology to prevent bot and deepfake infiltration.
The system uses an orb device to capture iris scans, creating a permanent, tamper-proof biometric record that verifies a user's identity via cryptography.
Verified participants on Zoom calls display a blue on-screen badge, signaling they are a real, unique human and the person they claim to be.
Companies can configure the integration to require this level of verification only for sensitive, high-stakes conversations.
