"… Without end-to-end encryption, Zoom has the technical ability to spy on private video meetings and could be compelled to hand over recordings of meetings to governments or law enforcement in response to legal requests. While other companies like Google, Facebook, and Microsoft publish transparency reports that describe exactly how many government requests for user data they receive from which countries and how many of those they comply with, Zoom does not publish a transparency report.

There are reasons why I'm proud of my "home" setup:
1. It just works. 2. I know what I build, so I can fix it. 3. It's all a single login. 4. Maintenance is fully automated. 5. It federates in many ways and therefore doesn't limit, but enable me to share things.
