Microsoft Teams to get end-to-end encryption for calls in July

New Delhi: Microsoft is set to jump on the encryption bandwagon. The company’s roadmap says Microsoft Teams, its video calling and work collaboration tool, will start encrypting calls made over the platform from July onwards. The feature was first announced at Microsoft’s Ignite conference in March this year.

“Teams will support an option to use end-to-end encryption (E2EE) for ad hoc 1:1 Teams VoIP calls, providing an additional option for conducting sensitive online conversations. To support customer security and compliance requirements, IT will have full control of who can use E2EE in the organization,” the roadmap says.
