End-to-End Encryption If you want to ensure the highest level of security for your online meetings, you can use End-to-end Encryption (E2EE). In this mode, even the service provider cannot read the content of the communication.
Note that currently E2EE is not available if you join a room via the ClickMeeting mobile app, but it works if you use the browser-based version on mobile devices.
How to enable E2EE encryption?
If you want to create an encrypted event, when setting up your online meeting, go to the Details tab and enable E2EE encryption with the button. Note that due to the way encryption works, the following features will not be available during the event:
Auto-stream on social media, Auto-publishing to your YouTube channel or Dropbox account, Recording of the event, Breakout rooms, Waiting Room, Livestreaming, YouTube video launching, SMS and email invitations, Chat moderation, Sharing the event on social media, QR code and phone gateway, Call-to-action button, surveys and tests, live transcription, presentation and virtual whiteboard, Direct support through live chat in the event room, Export of chat history, moderation and Q&A mode. The Q&A mode is at your disposal.
In the event room you will find confirmation that the meeting is encrypted.
When is it a good idea to use End-to-end encryption?
E2EE encryption will help you maintain the highest level of privacy. Use it in situations where confidentiality is particularly important, for example, if during a meeting:
You will be exchanging sensitive information (e.g., during business meetings), You will be discussing sensitive topics with your clients or patients, You will be sharing data that only strictly defined people can be familiar with. Can my computer get a virus or malware from attending an event? No, it is not possible. You don’t need to install anything to use ClickMeeting and all files that are uploaded and shared are scanned by anti-virus software on our servers.
