France to replace US's Teams and Zoom for 'sovereign control'
France announced that it will roll out the Visio platform across all government departments by 2027.
How do they deal with the point that there already is an established software called Visio?
I think I don’t get you comment. Whom do you refer to with ‘They’? The French government is switching over to Visio, as per the article.
Microsoft has an app called ‘microsoft visio’. This is a different visio. That’s what they’re asking. But the visio stands for “visioconférence” which is their word for videoconference. Many people in France just say “I have a visio” when they have to use one of these apps, regardless of which one they use. So op is asking about a potential trademark infringement but I really don’t think it’s gonna be an issue because it’s such a common word.
And there already is a software called “Visio”, but it is nothing close to what they describe. The Visio I’ve been using is a drawing program. That is my point.
Time to switch back to Minitels.

I think this was posted 3 times in this community already, from different sources

… and on many of them I complain again that they made a whole new project instead of just using and contributing to Jitsi , which the FSF created expressly to counter Zoom/Teams :/

It’s not a new project, it’s just skinned Element. Jitsi does not have the features of Element.

Actually, there’s also an official Jitsi server (called Webconf). And there’s another Big Blue Button one. I think Visio has features not available in Jitsi though, like AI-produced transcript of the call.

That’s low. I anticipate 7.

The irony is they used teams to notify all the sources.
