Q: Can meetings be hosted not just on vivomeetings servers but with Peer to Peer connection?
Don't want to be sceptical, but what happens if Vivomeetings' servers go down and I still need to use Vinomeetings's services? Is Peer to Peer included?

Vivomeetings does not utilize Peer-to-Peer (P2P) connections, and there’s a good reason for that.
P2P connections:
• Do not scale beyond a few participants without compromising quality.
• Lacks server-side features such as cloud recording, session control, moderation, and analytics.
• There is no redundancy or failover, meaning that any interruption to a participant’s device or connection can bring down the entire session.
• Cannot support centralized encryption management, which is essential for compliance and security in business environments.
In summary, no serious or enterprise-grade video conferencing solution utilizes P2P, as it fails to meet the requirements for scalability, reliability, security, and feature depth.
Why Vivomeetings Uses a Server-Based Architecture
• Vivomeetings operates on a global server infrastructure, utilizing a robust client-server model to ensure:
• Scalability for hundreds to thousands of participants.
• Enterprise features include webinar hosting, event registration, cloud recording, breakout rooms, and moderator controls.
• Consistent performance, no matter the participant's device or network.
• Security compliance encompasses encrypted media relay, audit logs, and administrative oversight.
Vivomeetings servers are strategically distributed across various geographic regions, including North America, Europe, Asia, and Africa, to ensure:
• Low latency for users worldwide
• Failover routing during regional outages
• Redundant systems with 24/7 monitoring to ensure more than 99.99% uptime.
In the unlikely event of a server outage, our system automatically redirects traffic to the next available node, ensuring continuity of service with minimal disruption.
Vivomeetings does not utilize P2P because:
• It is neither reliable nor scalable for real-time collaboration at scale.
• It cannot provide the advanced features and security that our users expect.
• Our server-based infrastructure is designed for high availability, optimal performance, and centralized control.
