E2E Encryption

End-to-end encryption (E2EE) is a system of communication where only the communicating users can read the messages. QuickMeet.Chat uses this to prevent potential eavesdroppers.

IMPORTANT: E2E encryption functionality includes notable restrictions that workspace owners should carefully consider before activating this feature. Here are what to keep in mind:

• Encrypted messages of encrypted rooms will not be found by search operations.

• Bots may not be able to see encrypted messages until they implement support for it.

To access this setting, go to Administration > Workspace > Settings > E2E Encryption.

• Enabled: When set to true, users can create encrypted rooms, change rooms, and set direct messages to be encrypted.

• Unencrypted messages in encrypted rooms: Enable this option to allow plain text messages to be sent in encrypted rooms. These messages will not be encrypted.

• Encrypt files: Enable this option to encrypt uploaded files. Your File Upload settings affect the files supported in encrypted rooms.

• Enable encryption for Direct Rooms by default: When set to true, direct rooms will be encrypted by default.

• Enable encryption for Private Rooms by default: When enabled, private rooms will be encrypted by default.

• Mentions: Notify people and highlight users, channels, and team mentions in encrypted channels by using the @ symbol. Mentioned users will get notified if they have enabled the workspace notifications.
