I dont quite understand why every couple years there's a new thing to replace something that already works. I thought Site employees in France were supposed to use Tchap, a matrix state run service...

From the little I read, Tchap only handles text messages while the article is about video conferencing.

Because every government, everywhere, overpays for some custom software that either never works or everyone hates to use.

It's part of the same project, tchap is for instant messaging and visio is for videoconferencing
