The encrypted, translated Microsoft Teams alternative
Teams is deeply woven into Microsoft 365 — which is exactly why some organisations look elsewhere for their most sensitive work: group meetings aren’t end-to-end encrypted, translation stops at captions, and there’s no confidential deal room. Ollasync focuses on that slice — live translated audio per listener, with a data room built in.
Teams is an excellent collaboration hub if you’re all-in on Microsoft 365, with Copilot AI and live-translated captions. It offers opt-in E2EE for one-to-one calls. Where it falls short is group-scale E2EE, spoken per-listener translation and a native confidential data room.

- You need confidentiality beyond one-to-one calls, with optional E2EE for group meetings.
- You want a focused, lightweight tool rather than a full collaboration suite.
Ollasync vs Microsoft Teams — FAQ
Does Microsoft Teams have end-to-end encryption?
Teams offers opt-in end-to-end encryption for one-to-one calls. Group meetings and chat are encrypted in transit and at rest but not end-to-end encrypted. Ollasync offers optional per-meeting E2EE covering the group.
We’re a Microsoft shop — can we still use Ollasync?
Yes. Ollasync integrates with your identity provider (including Entra ID) via OIDC single sign-on, so you can use it for confidential work and deal rooms alongside Teams for everyday collaboration.
Does Teams have a data room?
No — you’d bolt on SharePoint. Ollasync has confidential deal rooms with role/NDA gating, watermarks and live video built in.
