Element/Matrix also support e2ee.

Jitsi has supposed e2ee videoconferencing (on Chrome - they used some chrome-specific API for processing) for (I believe) at least a year or two.

The API is called Insertable Streams. It's not actually supposed to be Chrome-specific, others are just lagging in implementing it.

Element has native E2EE for 1-to-1 calls, but uses Jitsi for group calls. Native E2EE group calls actually also exist, called Element Call (https://element.io/blog/introducing-native-matrix-voip-with-...) but they're yet to be integrated into Element and specced into Matrix, I believe.

Jitsi's own solution I assume (also on Jitsi Meet), and not the usual XMPP/Jabber that (non-Meet) Jitsi uses ?
