The secure, self-hostable Google Meet alternative
Google Meet is simple and browser-native — and it runs entirely on Google’s US cloud. Client-side encryption exists, but only on higher Workspace tiers with admin-managed keys. Ollasync gives you private, encrypted meetings you can host yourself, with confidentiality that isn’t gated behind an enterprise SKU.
Meet is frictionless, reliable and genuinely good at browser-first meetings, and Google does offer client-side encryption on some enterprise Workspace editions. The limits are self-hosting, native confidential deal rooms and non-US operation.
