Zoom video conferences are NOT E2E encrypted, but they claimed it is. That is the main problem.

Also, there are possibilitys to archive this while still beein usable. Apples FaceTime does support E2E encryption for video calls.

The discussion of Zoom caused me to look into what FaceTime does. AFAIKT, there is no protection against MITM attacks by Apple against FaceTime. So in the end we have to trust Apple much like we have to trust Zoom. Of course one of those parties might be a lot more trustworthy than the other but the point still stands. For the sort of protection that e2e can provide the user has to have the ability to verify who they are talking to. Both Apple and Zoom are misleading by omission, one more than the other.
