Zoom is the world's most-used video conferencing tool, headquartered in San Jose. Even with EU data residency options, Zoom remains a US-controlled company subject to the Cloud Act. The European alternatives below — Whereby, Jitsi, Tixeo, Livestorm, Wire — are EU- or Norway-based, GDPR-native and in many cases CSPN-certified for sensitive public-sector use.

Why migrate away from Zoom?
Zoom is operated by Zoom Video, a US-controlled provider subject to the US Cloud Act and FISA Section 702. For European organisations handling personal, commercial or public-sector data, that creates an ongoing GDPR transfer risk. The alternatives above are headquartered in the EU or Switzerland, store data within European jurisdiction and remove that exposure.
