Is the Zoom video conferencing app secure ?
Is the Zoom conferencing app secure to use?
There would only be a few of us video conferencing.
I do not want to even begin there is any chance of website taking personal information.
If zoom is not secure, is there a videoconferencing app where members can post text documents and share them, and video conference securely!. Thank you alice -

Kim has posted several articles pointing out some potential security issues with the Zoom program:

https://zoom.us/securityIf you have a G-Suite account (a business Google account through work or school) then Google Meet is a great option. We have been using this while working remotely to have our team meetings. Here is information on their security:

The other members can join the meeting with a regular Google account, but the person who creates the meeting must have G-SUite.Skype is another option that is free:
