What are some good alternatives to Zoom that are actually true end-to-end encrypted? I know of one: https://www.crypho.com/ and Crypho is offering free audio and video conferencing for the next 3 months due to Coronavirus demand.

From the Crypho website:

>Key management and encryption happens automatically.

That implies that they could do MITM if they chose to do so because of the lack of a way to ensure you are actually talking to who you think you are talking to. If that is true then you still have to trust them and e2ee is in a sense pointless.
