>As for e2e encryption over webrtc via an SFU - yes, this is possible, but its currently very messy (wasm video encoding and encryption streamed over an SFU-bound datachannel with full mesh distribution of the encryption key). There are plans to implement "Insertable Streams" which you will be able to transform (e.g. encrypt) which will allow this to work without the hacks.

So currently Jitsi meet the one on the web site is NOT e2e encrypted?



Yeah, not e2e encrypted when it goes through videobridge (as per this article).

I haven't checked, but its possible for 1-to-1 or small meetings they may go full mesh, which would be e2e encrypted - a few platforms do this.

edit: just checked and jitsi is "full mesh" for 2 participants - if you have 3 or more (video) participants, it switches over to SFU.
