Mozilla's latest "*Privacy Not Included" report shows that twelve out of fifteen popular video call applications and platforms meet the organization's minimum security standards.
What Mozilla's researchers discovered was that twelve of the analyzed apps meet Mozilla's Minimum Security Standards.
Apps that meet the standards use encryption, have an automatic security update system, use strong passwords, employ bug bounty programs and clear points of contact for reporting and managing security vulnerabilities, and have clear privacy policies.
All apps alert participants when recording occurs, most apps provide hosts with the ability to set rules, and all apps use some form of encryption, but only some offer end-to-end encryption.
"Video call apps like FaceTime, Google Duo, Signal, and Houseparty have a very different set of video chat features and ease of use than business-oriented apps such as Zoom, BlueJeans, GoToMeeting, Microsoft Teams, and Cisco Webex," Mozilla says.
