Using end-to-end encryption, you can have confidential conversations. The following steps must be followed:

• in Zoom and Webex, you must "schedule" a meeting and enable end-to-end encryption in the settings before the meeting begins
• their conversation partner must have their own user account on the platform, if applicable
• only the content of the conversation is encrypted, but not the participant information and the title of the meeting
• There are technical limitations to encrypted meetings - seethis Zoom support articlefor more information.
