Encryption isn’t enough. Learn what truly makes a video call private—and why EXTRA SAFE is the most secure option available today.

*Resume created with artificial intelligence

In today’s world, most video calling apps claim to be “secure”—but are they really? Zoom, WhatsApp, and even Signal all require you to create an account, often tied to your phone number or email. Some store call metadata, like who you spoke to and for how long. Others route your calls through centralized servers, exposing them to potential leaks, hacks, or surveillance.

What Makes a Video Call Truly Private?

A truly confidential video call should meet these five criteria:

  • 1.

    Peer-to-peer connection (not server-based)

  • 2.

    No user registration required

  • 3.

    No metadata stored

  • 4.

    Local encryption key generation (not server-generated)

  • 5.

    End-to-end encryption with zero history

Why EXTRA SAFE Meets All of These Conditions

  • All calls are peer-to-peer, without a central server
