Microsoft has finally kicked off the rollout of end-to-end-encryption (E2EE) in its Teams collaboration platform with a public preview<\/a> of E2EE for one-to-one calls.<\/p>\n

It has been a while coming. The company made the promise of E2EE for some one-to-one Teams calls at its virtual Ignite shindig in March this year (https:\/\/www.theregister.com\/2021\/03\/03\/microsoft_ups_security\/) and as 2021 nears its end appears to have delivered, in preview form at least.<\/p>\n

The company’s rival in the conference calling space, Zoom, added E2EE for all a year ago<\/a>, making Microsoft rather late to the privacy party. COO at Matrix-based communications and collaboration app Element, Amandine Le Pape, told The Register<\/i> that the preview, although welcome, was “long overdue.”<\/p>\n
