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
