Mar. 3, 2021

Ever since the work-from-home culture came into effect during the Coronavirus-led pandemic, we have seen an increase in theusage of video-conferencing apps. We have seen companies rush to add new features to their platforms to attract new users. Now, Microsoft is finallyaddingend-to-end encryption (E2EE) support to itspopular video-conference app, Microsoft Teams, along with a bunch of new features.

The company, to make Microsoft Teams VOIP calls secure, is adding support for end-to-end encryption for one-on-one calls on the platform. The app currently does not support E2EE and encrypts data in transit and at rest. As a result, this allows authorized services to decrypt the data on demand.

Now, with the support for E2EE, users will be able to enjoy securely encrypted VOIP calls on the platform. This will be quite beneficial for sensitive conversations between employees of an organization. It could also be useful in situations where IT admins need to provide passwords to employees or clients over a Microsoft Teams call.
