I am always very hesitant to say anything personal over any video chat medium unless I know it's end to end encrypted. I know that they're not actively watching my video meetings, but it's still causing a chilling effect in how I conduct myself with their service.

Zoom works in China, ergo it is being recorded and analyzed. Automatic voice transcription is a thing.

I just realized this yesterday when Zooming with someone in China w/o a VPN.

What are some end-to-end encrypted video chat apps? I know Signal offers it but only has one on one calls.
