2. Click on the gear icon in the upper right corner.
3. Select "See all settings."
4. Go to the "Filters and Blocked Addresses" tab.
5. Click on "Create a new filter."
6. Enter the email address you want to block in the "From" field.
7. Click on "Create filter."
8. Select "Delete it" as the action.
9. Click on "Also apply filter to matching conversations."
10. Click on "Create filter."

Office 365:

1. Log in to your Office 365 account.
2. Click on the gear icon in the upper right corner.
3. Select "Mail."
4. Click on "Junk email."

@LucindaP If you click on the green shield icon when in a meeting, it will have a red "Report" flag.  If you click on that, you can report the participant during the meeting and kick them out.  You can also report a user after the fact here.

Thank you - this was a zoom bombing situation - someone used the white board, which I disabled, but I found their email after the fact.
