Zoom has\u00a0started rolling out\u00a0end-to-end encryption<\/a>\u00a0(E2EE) to both free and paying users.\u00a0<\/p>\n

E2EE is now available in technical preview on the\u00a0Zoom<\/a>\u00a0desktop client version\u00a0for\u00a0macOS<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Windows<\/a>, the Zoom Android app and Zoom Rooms, with the Zoom iOS app currently pending App Store approval.\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\nZoom\u2019s E2EE uses\u00a0the same 256-bit AES-GCM encryption that secures Zoom meetings by default<\/a>. Account administrators can enable the feature in the web dashboard at an\u00a0account, group, and user level, and participants must also enable the feature to join a meeting with end-to-end encryption.<\/p>\n

When\u00a0E2EE is enabled, nobody\u00a0except each participant – not even Zoom\u2019s meeting servers –\u00a0has access to the encryption keys that are used to secure the meeting.<\/p>\n

However, the company\u00a0has warned that at least in the first stage of the four-phase rollout, E2EE will block certain Zoom functions, including cloud recording, streaming, live transcription, Breakout Rooms, polling, 1:1 private chat, and meeting reactions.<\/p>\n

\u201cEnd-to-end encryption is another stride toward making Zoom the most secure communications platform in the world,\u201d said Zoom CEO Eric S. Yuan.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis phase of our E2EE offering provides the same\u00a0security<\/a>\u00a0as existing end-to-end-encrypted messaging platforms, but with the video quality and scale that has made Zoom the communications solution of choice for hundreds of millions of people and the world\u2019s largest enterprises.\u201d<\/p>\n

Phase 2 of the E2EE rollout is “tentatively roadmapped” for\u00a02021, according to Zoom.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The rollout of end-to-end encryption comes five months after Zoom initially announced plans to add support for the security standard. However,\u00a0at the time it said it would only be available for businesses and institutions that pay for a premium Zoom subscription<\/a>. Following backlash from users and privacy activists,\u00a0Zoom\u00a0backtracked<\/a>\u00a0two week’s later and announced\u00a0that it would make E2EE available to both free and paying users.\u00a0 <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
