France abandons US videoconferencing tools in favor of domestic Visio for officials
TL;DR Summary
France will ban public officials from using American video tools like Google Meet, Zoom and Teams, directing staff to use Visio, a home-grown platform built by Dinum on Outscale infrastructure. The move aims to shift government use to domestic tech, with a target of 250,000 Visio users by 2027 (40,000 already on Visio) and potential blocking of non-Visio tools on the state network to ensure compliance.
