Each organization can decide what types of assets get encrypted with their key when stored permanently in the cloud. The list of potential assets depends on what Zoom services the organization uses. For example, If cloud meeting recordings are enabled and the meeting organizer is a licensed CMK user and records the meeting, the associated files are encrypted, even if some of the meeting attendees are not CMK users. While most services follow the same approach, there are some specifics which apply to certain services as described in the following list (with their Service ID as it appears in the encryption context).
If you enable an AI Companion feature and enable CMK encryption for a related type of asset, then Zoom will encrypt all related assets (phone support is coming soon) including the AI generated ones, but if the feature uses a third-party model provider, that provider may only encrypt the data they receive with regular encryption.
Note: Associated metadata, such as used for searching of assets unrelated to Team Chat, may not be encrypted with the customer’s key.
- Meeting/webinar recordings (1)
Cloud meeting and webinar recordings including transcripts, summaries, and next steps can be encrypted along with in-chat text messages. Polls (Q&A, surveys and reports) and in-meeting file transfers are not encrypted. - Clips (10)

Other access tokens such as for Microsoft Teams can be encrypted. - Team Chat (8)
All messages, files, emojis, and attachments can be encrypted if any member of the channel or chat is a CMK-licensed user. Reaction emojis and giphys (and the associated URLs) will not be encrypted, as they are static resources. Code snippets are encrypted if the creator is a CMK-licensed user. Chats between two users of different organizations will be encrypted with both organization's keys if both users have licensed CMK. If only one person is a CMK-licensed user, a Zoom provided key will be used for the non-licensed user. An encrypted channel is encrypted using the owner's key even if external participation is allowed. CMK for Team Chat cannot be combined with Advanced Chat Encryption. - Events (13)

If you have enabled CMK encryption of Team Chat messages, you can also enable the encryption of the data used for searching within Team Chat when it is stored at rest.
