Zoom Technical Preview of End-to-End Encryption

[engine]

Zoom will have a technical preview of its end-to-end encryption in the next week, and users will be asked for feedback.

With Zoom’s E2EE, the meeting’s host generates encryption keys and uses public key cryptography to distribute these keys to the other meeting participants. Zoom’s servers become oblivious relays and never see the encryption keys required to decrypt the meeting contents.

i try to avoid zoom as much as possible. They lied about this before, and I am not going to trust them again.

I run my own Jitsi sever on a $5/month VPS and it works fine (I self host my email too). I am looking at alternatives to Jitsi for extra features too.

I agree, it's got a lot of catching up to do.
One thing is it's managed to build a brand name that has become synonymous with video conferencing. People now say a zoom call instead of a video conference call.
