European alternatives to Zoom
European companies mapped as alternatives to Zoom. Each carries an evidence-led sovereignty profile — jurisdiction, hosting, US exposure, DPA and more — reviewed by SovEU. Profiles are descriptive, not a compliance verdict.
3 alternatives
Browser-based video meeting service operated by Whereby AS in Norway.
Browser-based webinar and video engagement platform operated by Livestorm SAS in Paris, France.
Open-source video conferencing platform; the project is stewarded by a US company (8x8) but is widely self-hosted within Europe.
Compare side by side
The same evidence-led signals across each alternative. A blank cell (“—”) means the signal isn't recorded — never a negative claim — and the score is a transparent signal score, not a compliance verdict.
