100% safe alternative: Install Zoom on your Windows Sandbox

That does not solve the issues that Zoom has/had with encryption nor with leaking info. In addition there have been all kinds of sandbox escapes in the past. Finally I would not trust some random non-free program by Microsoft none the less to be secure, especially not against state attackers.

Windows Sandbox is only available on Windows 10 Pro and Enterprise, which precludes this solution from use for a lot of users.

So it'll still steal your intellectual property and ship it to China but at least they can't run exploits?

I don't get it. The video communications IS the valuable information, and they've already shown they'll route American communicates straight to China and lie about E2EE to advance their goals.

If you think a sandbox is safe try putting one in your living room.
