According the message delivered by the Founder, he kept repeating the word encryption time to time but previously Zoom had also made history with its own messed up security claims. After that, Zoom started to offer its own end to end encrypted services and is also planning to become a platform for its very own rights.
The one on one video call that was offered by Telegram previously had its own end to end encryption and it can be assumed that for group calls similar approach will be followed. However many debates were subjected on this thought and it is possible that even if Telegram claims and end to end encrypted video call, it will still undergo scrutiny process.
