Zoom will soon let paid customers choose the data center through which their calls are routed. Beginning April 18, clients can opt in or out of a specific region, customizing the servers used to connect to hosted meetings.

The move comes after an April 3 report from the University of Toronto's Citizen Lab found that Zoom was transmitting encryption keys through China. Researchers revealed that "during multiple test calls in North America, we observed keys for encrypting and decrypting [Zoom] meetings transmitted to servers in Beijing." The app, they said, uses "non-industry-standard cryptographic techniques with identifiable weaknesses."
