One disclosed example method includes receiving, during a first encrypted video conference including a plurality of participants, a request to admit an additional participant to the encrypted video conference; determining whether the additional participant is one of the plurality of participants. The example method further includes, responsive to determining that the additional participant is not one of the plurality of participants, ending the first encrypted video conference; obtaining a meeting cryptographic key; distributing the meeting cryptographic key to each participant of the plurality of participants; and initiating a second encrypted video conference including the plurality of participants.

Locking encrypted video conferences

One disclosed example method includes obtaining a meeting cryptographic key; transmitting, from a client device to a video conference provider, a request to initiate an encrypted video conference, the encrypted video conference including a plurality of participants; distributing the meeting cryptographic key to each participant of the plurality of participants; obtaining a public cryptographic key of a key pair, the key pair including the public cryptographic key and a private cryptographic key; encrypting the meeting cryptographic key using the public cryptographic key; transmitting, from the client device to the video conference provider, a request to record the video conference; encrypting audio and video from a microphone and image sensor of the client device using the meeting cryptographic key; transmitting the encrypted audio and video to the video conference provider; and providing the encrypted meeting cryptographic key to the video conference provider.
