France to ditch US platforms Microsoft Teams, Zoom for 'sovereign platform' amid security concerns

January 27, 2026-France announced that it will roll out the Visio platform across all government departments by 2027.
France will replace the American platforms Microsoft Teams and Zoom with its own domestically developed video conferencing platform, which will be used in all government departments by 2027, the country announced on Monday.

The move is part of France's strategy to stop using foreign software vendors, especially those from the United States, and regain control over critical digital infrastructure. It comes at a crucial moment as France, like Europe, reaches a turning point regarding digital sovereignty.
