Are there any cryptographic and/or network designs which allow end-to-end encryption of a group video chat without full meshing?

#12> Take the case of 10 people having a discussion in a room. You wouldn’t expect one person to have exclusive "kick" and "mute" privileges in an in-person meeting and yet, those meetings usually go fine.
> In the vast majority of cases, moderation controls in online meetings serve a different purpose: they help address tech related issues, such as people not realizing their microphones are introducing noise, or people forgetting to leave. Moderation controls help you solve those, so that people can continue their conversation. And now, with that in mind, why wouldn’t you want to enable anyone in the meeting to help solve these kinds of issues?
This is one of the stupidest things I've ever read about online meeting moderation, and this has been an all-time boner fest of a month for stupid things written about online meeting moderation.

#13Short answer: like Zoom, multiparty Jitsi meetings are encrypted point-to-point, not end-to-end, and Jitsi can monitor and record your multiparty meetings.
Do you know whether Zoom can monitor meetings taking place in Zoom On-Premise Deployments?

#14Basically same situation technically as Zoom, without the PR fiasco

Facetime claims to be end-to-end encrypted and apple claims to not be able to decrypt it.

#16Earlier quoted context omitted.
But you can host your own and audit the source code. That has to count for something, right?
I have done so on the smallest cheapest gcloud instance and it worked alright. Under a cent an hour for privacy seems worth it.
Don't forget to include bandwidth costs, which turn out to be much higher than you'd expect. 1.5 hours of with 6 participants using simulcast corresponds to about 20GB of outbound (inbound is free on AWS). Which corresponds to a little under $2 (at $0.09 per GB).

#17If you are using webrtc in the browser e2e is not possible. Which is why it’s critical you have the ability to self host such solutions.

Zoom has signed HIPAA BAAs. I doubt they're jumping in on meetings when there's a risk of patient health history being discussed

Facetime claims to be end-to-end encrypted and apple claims to not be able to decrypt it.
And since Facetime is closed source, a claim is all we'll get.
Jami is peer-to-peer and supports end-to-end encryption. Not sure if that counts or if that means it uses full meshing.

You say it's stupid but don't say why. Honestly dorm my experience this is a useful feature I'm not a tech expert but in most team meetings I'm the most technologically able person in the room. I end up quietly muting people that forget to tune themselves out while typing. Not sure thats useful for a classroom of 10 year olds though.
