Best European Alternatives to Google Meet (2026)
Google Meet connects to your Google Calendar and Gmail, giving Google visibility into who you meet with and when. Recordings and transcripts are processed by a US company subject to US surveillance law. European video calling tools offer comparable quality with your meetings kept under European law.
Replace Google Meet with a private video conferencing app based in Europe. Compare Collabora Online, CryptPad, Infomaniak kSuite and more, all operated under European privacy law.
