Statistics show that following the participants in videoconferencing during the pandemic, citizens with criminal tendencies also rushed into the virtual environment. The Zoom service in this sense has repeatedly become the object of criticism, since it made it too easy to join someone else's video conference. Soon this problem can be fixed at the expense of customers.
As the citing Zoom representatives, the new user experience policy will include session encryption for paying subscribers and various organizations, including educational institutions and non-profit associations. Such measures will prevent information discussed during video conferences. The disadvantages of this plan include the loss of the ability to listen to the conference from the phone and connect to the communication session by Zoom security specialists themselves.
Third-party users now join video conferences up to 300 million times a day, so those who want to maintain the privacy of discussions will certainly be ready to switch to a paid service. Some experts express concern that encrypted video calls will be used more actively by criminals to communicate with each other. However, Zoom is not unique in this sense, and the benefits of switching to encryption will certainly be more than harm.
