## In detail

### Meetings from your calendar and bookings

In Xenaxio a meeting starts where the appointment is: one click in the calendar event adds a Xenaxio Meeting link, the invitation carries it, and every online booking can get a meeting of its own. Colleagues join directly, guests without an account wait in a waiting room until you let them in. In Rooms you start a call right in a channel or direct message.

### Where video and sound run

Zoom runs in its own cloud; an EU infrastructure exists for Education and Enterprise customers, and Zoom Node keeps only meeting media on premises. Xenaxio Meeting runs encrypted through our media server in Germany – or, on-premise, through your own, together with mail, chat and the AI on your servers.

### Where Zoom is stronger

Zoom handles meetings with up to 1,000 people, very large webinars and recordings, and offers phone systems and contact centres. Xenaxio Meeting is for everyday meetings – up to 25 people by default – and webinars for up to 300 viewers on request; meeting recordings are not yet available. If large events are your main use, Zoom remains the better choice.

## Questions

**How does Xenaxio differ from Zoom?**

Zoom is the best-known name for video meetings and webinars – up to 1,000 people per meeting in Enterprise plans and very large webinars – and Zoom Workplace adds Team Chat, Docs, Mail and Calendar. Zoom is a US company; an EU infrastructure exists for Education and Enterprise customers. Xenaxio Meeting runs in the browser on a media server in Germany or on yours, right in your calendar.

**When is Xenaxio a better fit than Zoom?**

Meetings should start from your calendar and bookings, next to mail and chat. Video and sound should run through a media server in Germany or your own. Your meetings are mostly small: team, clients, first calls.

**When does Zoom fit better?**

You run large meetings and webinars and need recordings. You also want a phone system or contact centre from the same provider.

**Are there video meetings like Zoom, Teams or Google Meet?**

Yes: Meetings. Every meeting has its own link. You create it in the event with one click, the invitation carries the link, and every online booking can get a meeting of its own. People join in the browser, nothing to install: colleagues directly, guests without an account through a waiting room you let them in from. In the meeting there are camera, microphone, screen sharing, chat, raised hands and reactions; anyone from your company can mute microphones, remove participants or end the meeting for everyone. In Rooms you start a call right in a channel or a direct message. Video and sound run encrypted through our media server in Germany – or, on-premise, through your own. Up to 25 people per meeting by default; your administrator can switch meetings and guests off.

**Are there webinars?**

Yes, on request: webinars for up to 300 viewers on one media server, up to 1,000 soon. Hosts and speakers are on stage with camera, microphone and screen; everyone else watches and listens, raises a hand and sends reactions. The host brings viewers onto the stage and back without them reconnecting. If you like, there is a registration page on your portal: whoever registers gets a personal link with a calendar invitation and reminders a day and 15 minutes before; afterwards you see who came and for how long, also as CSV. Viewers ask questions with “+1”, answer polls and write in the chat (for everyone, to hosts only, or off). You can also create a webinar from a calendar event or have the AI assistant or Claude create it. Viewers’ data is deleted after 90 days. Webinars run on a dedicated media server; we switch them on for your company as soon as you need them.
