Zoom is now more focused on privacy and security protections by expanding its end-to-end encryption [E2EE] features to more of its services. The first service to get this feature is zoom phone. Their cloud phone system and users of that service will be able to switch on E2EE during one-on-one calls when it’s turned on, the feature will ensure that calls are secure with cryptographic keys that only the calling and receiving devices can access. Users will be able to verify the status by sharing their security code with the other person.

Currently, it’s only possible to enable this feature on Zoom Phone for calls between users in the same company Zoom account. They will need to be on the Zoom phone desktop or mobile app and switch off automatic call recording. Owners or admins of accounts will need to enable this feature through a web portal before their users can activate it on calls. So if you are an admin, you might be willing to look into that.

In addition to this, this feature will be also available for users in breakout rooms with smaller discussions that break off from group meetings. Each breakout room can have its encryption key, again account owners or admins will need to enable it for their users to be able to use it.
