End-to-End Encryption (E2EE)

What is restricted in an E2EE environment

End-to-end (E2EE) encryption for meetings is now available.  Account owners and admins can enable end-to-end encryption for meetings, providing additional protection when needed.  Enabling end-to-end encryption for meetings requires all meeting participants to join from the Zoom desktop client, mobile app, or Zoom Rooms.

Enabling E2EE also disables  the following features:

• Join before host

• Cloud recording

• Live streaming

• Live transcription

• Breakout Rooms

• Polling

• Zoom Apps

• Zoom Whiteboard

• Meeting reactions*

• 1:1 private chats*
  
  

*Note: As of version 5.5.0 for desktop, mobile, and Zoom Rooms, these features are supported in E2EE meetings. 

Users will not be able to join by telephone, SIP/H.323 devices, on-premise configurations, the Zoom web client, third-party clients leveraging the Zoom Web SDK, or Lync/Skype clients, as these endpoints cannot be encrypted end to end.

E2EE meetings are limited to 1000 participants and would still require having a Large Meeting license.
