But 2024 brought another significant boost to Signal’s video conferencing features, making the encrypted messenger a fully-fledged and, above all, secure alternative to Microsoft Teams and Zoom as the following table shows.
Video conferencing features compared
Signal is now a private and secure alternative to Teams and Zoom
As the comparison table above shows, Signal has caught up with the market leaders Teams and Zoom. This has made Signal a serious, secure alternative in the video conferencing sector, especially for small and medium-sized organizations and companies.
Encryption and security in Signal
This is especially true because Signal offers maximum security with its full end-to-end encryption by default. With Signal, all communication (including calls) is always end-to-end encrypted by default, while many other providers only rely on transport encryption by default, which does not guarantee secure encryption from one endpoint to another.
For encryption Signal uses its own Signal protocol, which is widely regarded as the gold standard in encryption.
At the same time, Signal does not collect metadata and consistently enforces the highest level of data protection and security in all other areas – including quantum-safe encryption.
In times when data leaks and security incidents are becoming increasingly widespread and companies and organizations are making their own data security a top priority, Signal offers a comprehensive set of features to allow professional and secure video conferences and is used by many companies and organizations worldwide.
