Zoom announced a slate of new security features users can take advantage of as the school year begins and millions continue to work and learn remotely.
At Zoomtopia, the company announced that end-to-end encryption, which they rolled out last October in Zoom Meetings, will now be available for Zoom Phone users.
Zoom Phone users can upgrade to end-to-end encryption “during one-on-one phone calls that occur via the Zoom client.”
“During a call, users can click ‘More’ to find the option to enable end-to-end encryption. The upgrade takes under a second and helps users get security protection against server compromise,” the company explained in a statement.
“Users can optionally exchange security codes over the voice channel to rule out the presence of a ‘meddler in the middle.’ E2EE for Zoom Phone will be available in the coming year.”
Zoom also announced two other features designed to enhance the security of its platform: Bring Your Own Key (BYOK) and Verified Identity.
