What’s new at VQ?

Why self-host video conferencing?

Cloud platforms like Zoom and Teams are everywhere – but they’re not built for organizations with serious security, compliance, or data sovereignty needs. 

Read the full blog to find out why self-hosting your video conferencing is the way forward.

In our latest blog, we break down:

• What really happens to your meeting data in the cloud
• Why encryption alone isn’t enough
• How cloud platforms trade security for features
• The hidden risks to data residency and sovereignty
• How VQ Conference Manager delivers full-featured, secure, self-hosted conferencing

Read the full blog to find out why more organizations are taking control of their virtual meeting data — and how you can too.
