Microsoft Teams calls are getting end-to-end encryption in July:

Microsoft Teams is getting better security and privacy next month with the addition of end-to-end encrypted 1:1 voice calls.

While Microsoft Teams already encrypts data at rest and in transit, it allows administrators to configure automatic recording and transcription of voice calls.

Due to this, Microsoft Teams calls are not suitable for sharing very sensitive information that should remain private between two individuals.

Starting in July, Microsoft Teams is getting end-to-end encryption for 1:1 VoIP calls so that their discussions remain entirely private.

    And your manager.
    And HR.
    And the corporate lawyers.

    After all, they paid for the enterprise support

    Yes. By the way, what about jisti [jitsi.org]? I've used it a fair bit. It's FOSS, including the server (so you can run your own if you want to) and has end-to-end encryption. I'm surprised it's not more popular.
