Zoom Rolling Out End-to-End Encryption Offering - Zoom Blog

Zoom users – free and paid – around the world can host up to 200 participants in an E2EE meeting on Zoom, providing increased privacy and security for your Zoom sessions.We announced in May our plans to build an end-to-end-encrypted meeting option into our platform, on top of Zoom’s already strong encryption and advanced security features. Enabling this version of Zoom’s E2EE in your meetings disables certain features, including join before host, cloud recording, streaming, live transcription, Breakout Rooms, polling, 1:1 private chat, and meeting reactions.Do free Zoom users have access to end-to-end encryption?Yes. Free and paid Zoom accounts joining from Zoom’s desktop client or mobile app, or from a Zoom Room, can host or join an E2EE meeting.How is this different from Zoom’s enhanced GCM encryption?Zoom meetings and webinars by default use AES 256-bit GCM encryption for audio, video, and application sharing (i.e., screen sharing, whiteboarding) in transit between Zoom applications, clients, and connectors.
