France abandons US videoconferencing tools in favor of domestic Visio for officials
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.
