An E2EE option is available to free and paid Zoom customers globally who host meetings with up to 1,000 participants as well as on Zoom Phone for one-on-one calls on the same Zoom account. Zoom’s E2EE uses the same 256-bit AES-GCM encryption to encrypt real-time media in meetings during transit that supports standard Zoom Meetings, but with Zoom’s E2EE, the feature is designed so that the device of the meeting host, or originating caller in the case of Zoom Phone, as opposed to Zoom’s servers, generates encryption keys and uses public key cryptography to distribute these keys to the other meeting participants or call recipient. Additionally, Zoom’s post-quantum E2EE is now globally available for Zoom Workplace, specifically for Zoom Meetings and Zoom Phone, with support for Zoom Rooms coming soon. We believe that the launch of the new security enhancement makes Zoom the first UCaaS company to offer a post-quantum E2EE solution for video conferencing.

International Opportunity

Our platform addresses the communications and collaboration needs of users worldwide, and we see international expansion as a major opportunity.

We use strategic partners and resellers to sell in certain international markets where we have limited or no direct sales presence. While we believe global demand for our platform will continue to increase as international market awareness of Zoom grows, our ability to conduct our operations internationally will require considerable management attention and resources and is subject to the particular challenges of supporting a rapidly growing business in an environment of multiple languages, cultures, customs, legal and regulatory systems, alternative dispute systems, and commercial markets.

Key Business Metrics

We review the following key business metrics to measure our performance, identify trends, formulate financial projections, and make strategic decisions.

Number of Enterprise Customers

As Zoom continues to expand and evolve, we have seen an increasing overlap between our Enterprise and Online customer categories. Over time, customers with lower MRR are expected to move from Enterprise to Online as we optimize our sales strategies. While these moves do not have a material impact on other key business metrics, the number of customers between these two groups has become less meaningful as a key business metric. Therefore, beginning
