FortiGate: Blocking Zoom chat but not blocking Zoom meeting

[btroyee]

Given that there is no Zoom chat signature available on FortiGate.

Is it possible to block the Zoom chat without blocking the Zoom meeting?

TIA.

Hello,

I do not think it would be possible without developing a custom signature to identify chat traffic.

Thank you, I will keep that in mind.

As mentioned by @jintrah_FTNT  so far there is no ready-to-use AppControl signature for the Zoom except for the whole Zoom as an application, so either wait till Fortinet develop it (or not), or try to develop a custom signature, which would be interesting but I guess time consuming.

Hi Yuri,

Do you have any article that can be used on how to create this custom signature?

Thank you btw.
