Today we’re opening the private beta of Openvisio, our video conferencing solution fully operated by Clever Cloud on European datacenters.
Openvisio deploys as an add-on within an existing Clever Cloud organization, alongside Docs, Grist and Clever Kubernetes Engine.
This beta is aimed at organizations looking to test a video conferencing tool aligned with the same sovereignty requirements as the rest of their stack, with no heavy install on the end-user side.
Why we’re building a new video conferencing tool
When a CIO talks to us about sovereignty today, the conversation always ends up on video conferencing. Databases, storage, orchestration: all of these have found their European alternatives in recent years.
Video conferencing, far less so.
Most of the European organizations we work with still use a tool hosted outside Europe, with the jurisdictional questions that come with it.
Cloud Act, FISA, non-EU data transfers: these are topics CISOs have been documenting for years, without being able to truly resolve them as long as no credible alternative existed for their most everyday use case.
We started running Openvisio internally on our own infrastructure several months ago.
The experience convinced us that an add-on solution, integrated into the Clever Cloud console, made sense for organizations looking to reduce their exposure to non-European jurisdictions without launching a heavy migration project across workstations.
What Openvisio does
Openvisio covers the expected use cases of a modern video conferencing tool.
Access happens through a browser, with no client to install.
Audio and video flow over WebRTC, an open web standard.
Screen sharing is built in. Automatic transcription is available. Authentication plugs into your organization’s directory via SSO or OIDC.
Features available in the beta:
- Large-scale meetings: stabilized architecture for sessions with 100+ participants.
- Multi-stream screen sharing: several participants can share their screen at the same time.
- Secure, non-persistent chat: no server-side retention after the meeting ends.
- Meeting recording: audio, video and screen share capture, stored on Cellar.
- Automatic transcription and summary: text record and synthesis of conversations.
Access control: robust authentication and fine-grained permissions per room.
Infrastructure operated in Europe, with no non-European dependencies
This is the point that drives most of our incoming requests.
The dominant tools on the market are hosted outside European jurisdiction, which exposes communications to extraterritorial laws (the Cloud Act in the United States, FISA).
Many organizations have chosen to live with this risk for lack of an operational alternative.
Openvisio joins the set of products that Clever Cloud operates in-house to address these concerns: French and European infrastructure, GDPR compliance, no transfer outside the EU by default.
Openvisio joins Docs (document workspace), Grist (structured data) and Clever Kubernetes Engine (orchestration) in a suite designed for organizations operating under sovereignty constraints.
Provisioned as a Clever Cloud add-on
On the deployment side, Openvisio works on the same model as Docs and Grist. You provision it from the Clever Cloud console or via the Clever Tools CLI.
The infrastructure is operated by our teams, with no operational maintenance on your end. Resource consumption stays light: we’ve sized the add-on so it doesn’t introduce unexpected operational costs on your Clever Cloud bill.
The add-on plugs into your organization’s existing ecosystem: Cellar for storage, managed databases, IAM, unified monitoring.
User permissions and billing are managed in the same place as your other Clever Cloud products.
A private beta, built together
Openvisio is in private beta.
We’re opening a limited number of slots to European organizations that want to test the solution on real-world use cases and share regular qualitative feedback with us.
We’re not looking for end customers but for demanding test partners: CIOs, platform teams, CISOs, business decision-makers facing sovereignty requirements.
In return for their commitment, selected organizations get free access during the beta (infrastructure usage may be billed according to the standard Clever Cloud pricing), direct influence on the roadmap, and preferential pricing at general availability.
The goal is straightforward: evolve the product on meaningful use cases before a broader release.
Sensitive internal discussions, executive committees, cross-department meetings, collaboration between European organizations: these are the contexts where we want to stabilize Openvisio before opening up.
Who it’s for
Openvisio is built for organizations with a formal or contractual sovereignty requirement on their communications.
This covers companies subject to GDPR compliance on sensitive topics, public sector organizations, and regulated industries (healthcare, finance, energy).
It’s also relevant for groups looking to reduce their dependency on a non-European provider without launching a costly change management effort on the user side.
Let’s meet at VivaTech (June 17-20, 2026)
We’ll be at VivaTech from June 17 to 20, 2026. Florent Perreux and the product team will be running demos throughout the event on the Clever Cloud booth.
It’s also a chance to discuss your use case in person.

We get back to every applying organization to scope the test together before opening access.
