I understand the distrust for Proton, but I can't help but notice that this could be a huge upgrade for folks fleeing from Microsoft and Google suites.
Edit: But for anyone who wants to conference call with a clean conscience, check out Matrix.org.

The biggest issue I have with software like this is convincing others to switch from their trusted video call software to one that they’ve never heard before.
Agreed. The biggest reason Zoom took off is that folks could join a video chat from any platform simply by opening a link in a browser.
What's next? Proton Date? When can I date local girls while they know their rejections will be end to end encrypted, only meant for my eyes?
It seems like Proton started using end to end encryption as a buzz word, only to enhance their marketing.
there is place for doubts, but you are speaking like end to end encryption has no use in online meetings
At least Chinese hackers won't be able to mock you for being rejected so often.
Don't trust Proton
Why?
Oh look another half finished product from proton 🤦♂️
