OpenTalk is more than just another video conferencing solution. Designed with a special focus on data protection and security, OpenTalk offers a completely reimagined solution ideally suited for public administration. With its modern IT architecture and strict data segregation, OpenTalk meets the highest standards of data protection and security, fully compliant with the GDPR.

In the public sector, data protection is not just a buzzword; it's a central requirement. OpenTalk provides specialized features and moderation tools specifically developed for such demanding scenarios. This includes features voting, recording, streaming, breakout rooms and a coffee break timer. Don't worry: thanks to its user-friendly design and simple operation, OpenTalk is also accessible to users who are not tech-savvy.

OpenTalk has been created as a comprehensive European — and therefore GDPR-compliant — alternative for collaboration and communication. It is a video conferencing solution well-suited for agencies, municipalities, administrations as well as personal and business use.

Starting with the history of the OpenTalk project, this talk will provide insights into features that set it apart from other solutions, its service architecture and the current state of development. We will also discuss about the efforts of creating tooling for developers to build their own service and client integrations for the system. We have the vision of building and fostering a community around the project that helps creating an open ecosystem.
