The website does not just say "end-to-end" and leave it open to interpretation. It goes into some detail of how it works:
> End-to-End Chat Encryption allows for a secured communication where only the intended recipient can read the secured message. Zoom uses both asymmetric and symmetric algorithms to encrypt the chat session. Session keys are generated with a device-unique hardware ID to avoid data being read from other devices.
This contradicts their previous statement[1] that end-to-end encryption means from the client to the browser. Surely the "recipient" of the communication is not zoom, but the other person you are talking to, right?

- kerng 7y agoYour comment above mentions chat encryption- not video..
- franciscop 7y agoYou are right, then my case is weaker since they do not define video end-to-end encryption explicitly. But still this shows that they do know what end-to-end encryption means as opposed to what was claimed previously.
- kerng 7y agoCorrect - but it also shows that they continue to actively mislead people.
- upofadown 7y agoI can't find that previous statement from Zoom in the linked article. They actually said things were encrypted from end point to end point. The article itself speculated that they actually meant server to server but in light of subsequent testing that is probably wrong.
