Overview
- After a yearlong pilot with about 40,000 users, the state-built, open-source platform will expand to roughly 200,000 public-sector staff through 2027.
- Early adopters include CNRS, Assurance Maladie and the public finances directorate, with the Defence Ministry slated to switch in the first quarter of 2026 and CNRS ending its Zoom contract by late March.
- Media reports citing a Dinum spokesperson say a formal prohibition on U.S. services such as Teams, Zoom and Google Meet on state networks may be published soon, though no decree had been issued at the time of reporting.
- Visio runs on Outscale’s France-based infrastructure certified to ANSSI’s SecNumCloud standard, and it is integrated into the government’s sovereign workspace alongside tools like Tchap and Docs.
- Current capabilities include meetings up to 150 participants, recording, screen sharing, chat, reactions and speaker-diarized transcription, with real-time captions planned for summer 2026 via Kyutai; the government projects savings of about €1 million per 100,000 users annually in avoided license fees.
