I noticed a new pair of buttons at the bottom of the meeting scheduler for Zoom, for “enhanced" versus "end-to-end" encryption. “Enhanced”—the default, at least for my account via the university, sure sounds better, but in fact it’s weaker: the key is in the "cloud" somewhere.

The “?” button for enhanced encryption says “Your encryption key is stored in the cloud”.
The “?” button for end-to-end encryption says “Your encryption key is stored locally. No one else can obtain the encryption key, not even Zoom.”
