Meetings and the work inside them
Qube vs Zoom
Zoom secures a video call. Qube secures the conversation, computer, files, applications, protected delivery, and participant context as one working room. High-stakes meetings need that larger boundary.
Two products. Two different security boundaries.
Zoom security boundary
Zoom delivers video conferencing, screen sharing, chat, and familiar meeting workflows. Its security boundary ends at the participant device where local software can see the shared screen.
Qube protected cloud room
Qube runs the sensitive work inside a shared cloud computer and protects the stream delivered to participants. End-to-end media encryption, local-app isolation, context enforcement, environmental safeguards, and review evidence protect the whole session.
Compare the security boundary
Qube secures the meeting, shared computer, files, applications, delivered stream, and review evidence as one room. Zoom protects the capabilities documented in its product materials. The table makes the difference explicit.
| Capability | Qube | Zoom |
|---|---|---|
| End-to-end meeting encryption | Built into QubeQube encrypts live meeting media end to end with SFrame and rejects encrypted sessions when runtime authorization fails. | IncludedZoom offers end-to-end encryption for meeting media. |
| Protected meeting stream | Built into QubeQube delivers the meeting and shared workspace through a protected streaming path designed to block ordinary software capture on supported clients. | Not documentedThe product documentation does not show a native equivalent. |
| Local AI / app isolation | Built into QubeFiles, applications, and working state stay inside Qube’s cloud workspace, outside the participant’s local desktop and local AI tools. | Not documentedThe product documentation does not show a native equivalent. |
| No install | Built into QubeParticipants join Qube from a supported browser while the workspace stays in the cloud. | LimitedBrowser joining is available, but Zoom end-to-end encrypted meetings require an app or Zoom Room. |
| Context enforcement | Built into QubeQube monitors fullscreen and focus, covers or pauses protected content when the participant leaves the session, and records the event for review. | Not documentedThe product documentation does not show a native equivalent. |
| Watermarking & attribution | Built into QubeQube combines forensic watermarking with session identifiers so protected content can be traced to its meeting context. | LimitedZoom documents viewer-identifying image watermarks and separate audio attribution. Authentication, client, and configuration requirements apply; audio analysis goes through Zoom Support. |
| Second-device surroundings view | Built into QubeQube pairs a second device to give the host a live view around the participant’s workstation. | Not documentedThe product documentation does not show a native equivalent. |
| Acoustic leakage detection | Built into QubeQube monitors for protected meeting audio leaking into the surrounding room and surfaces the signal as part of the session security record. | Not documentedThe product documentation does not show a native equivalent. |
| Layered identity defense | Built into QubeQube combines participant video, the protected workspace, a paired surroundings view, and security events to give reviewers more context than a conventional call. | Not documentedThe product documentation does not show a native equivalent. |
Qube protects more than the call
Encryption and trust
Zoom offers end-to-end encryption for call media. Qube encrypts live meeting media end to end, then protects the decrypted view from ordinary capture software on supported participant devices.
Where the work runs
Zoom shares a participant screen. Qube puts the computer inside the meeting. Files, tools, browser state, and approved AI run in the Qube cloud workspace instead of on participant laptops.
Recording and review
Qube connects the authorized recording, transcript, workspace activity, and security events to the same session. Reviewers see the work and the context behind it instead of a call recording alone.
Start with the work the meeting must protect
A high-stakes meeting may need a repository, control dashboard, contract, financial model, prototype, or confidential research. A screen share renders that work on participant-controlled devices.
Qube moves the applications, files, and working state into the cloud room. Participants use the same environment while protected delivery keeps ordinary local capture tools outside the session on qualified devices.
Bring the required devices and settings
Run the real task with the browsers, operating systems, tools, and reviewer workflow your team will use. The demonstration should cover admission, protected delivery, recording, and evidence review.
Use Qube for the session where files, applications, and decisions must stay inside a controlled room. Zoom remains a video call; Qube is the secure place where the work happens.
What teams ask about Qube
Does Zoom have end-to-end encryption?
Yes. Zoom offers end-to-end encryption for meeting media. Qube adds end-to-end encrypted media to a protected cloud workspace and a capture-resistant presentation path on supported clients.
Does Zoom use meeting communications to train AI models?
Zoom states that it does not use customer communications content to train its or third-party AI models. Qube also blocks ordinary local capture tools from reading the protected meeting and workspace on supported clients.
How does Qube keep local AI and recording tools outside the room?
Qube keeps the applications, files, and working state inside its cloud workspace. Protected delivery blocks ordinary local capture tools on qualified clients. Context enforcement, security events, acoustic safeguards, and a paired surroundings view extend the boundary around the participant environment.
