Zoom Will Start Rolling Out Phase 1 of End-to-End Encryption From Next Week

Video conferencing platform Zoom will begin rolling out end-to-end encryption for users starting next week, the company said in a blog post. Next week’s rollout will be phase 1 of a four-stage process to bring end-to-end encryption to Zoom. The next phase for the rollout will include “better identity management and end-to-end encryption SSO integration.” Zoom said that the second phase is slated for 2021. However, CEO Eric Yuan had then said that end-to-end encryption will be reserved for Zoom’s paid customers, but retracted a month later saying that all users will be provided with the highest level of security.
