Before choosing software

Software suitability depends on your organisation’s size, technical capacity, budget, existing systems, and compliance needs. Review the provider’s own documentation before making a decision. Information on this page is provided for orientation and may not reflect the most recent changes to a product or vendor.

Frequently asked questions

Before switching, review whether a replacement covers your typical meeting size, whether it supports the devices your team and external participants use, and what the process is for migrating any recorded sessions or scheduled meetings. Also check whether your compliance requirements, such as GDPR data processing agreements or sector-specific regulations, are addressed by the provider’s documentation.

Not automatically. A company can be headquartered in the EU while routing video traffic through servers outside the EU. The tools listed on this page are selected based on the platform’s inclusion criteria, which include European data residency as a standard option. Always verify the specific hosting arrangements in the provider’s data processing agreement (DPA) before making decisions for compliance-sensitive use.

Focus on the factors that apply to your situation: meeting size limits, participant experience (does joining require an account or download?), integration with your existing calendar and productivity tools, support for your required security standards, and the provider’s documented data processing practices. The profiles on this page provide structured information to support that evaluation. They do not rank or score tools.
