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.

In our latest blog, we break down:
- What really happens to your meeting data in the cloud
- Why encryption alone isn’t enough

- How VQ Conference Manager delivers full-featured, secure, self-hosted conferencing
