Olivasal

What Olivasal is

Olivasal is a self-hosted, AI-powered video meeting platform for organizations that need meetings, recordings, and searchable recaps. Meetings include lobby admission, host transfers, co-host roles, end-for-all controls, screen sharing, chat, live captions, and a collaborative whiteboard. AI recaps can provide speaker-attributed transcripts, visual flowchart summaries, action items, and a searchable recap library. Cloud and local recording can run in parallel, generating video, audio-only, and chat-transcript files.

Self-hosted deployments run on Linux servers and keep recordings and transcripts on the customer’s hardware. Per-meeting end-to-end encryption makes the server a blind relay; while enabled, it turns off cloud recording and AI recaps, though local recording remains available. Integrations include Google and Microsoft sign-in, two-way Google Calendar sync, send-as email through Gmail, Microsoft 365, and Zoho, and GitLab issue creation from recap action items. Plans range from Free to Enterprise. The Free plan costs nothing and includes up to 3 members, 25 people per meeting, 45-minute meetings, 3 cloud-recorded meetings per month, and 3 AI summaries per month. Paid plans include Starter at $15 a month, Growth at $29 a month, and Enterprise on request.

Who it suits

Olivasal suits teams that hold online meetings and want recordings and AI-generated recaps, with options for Linux self-hosting and local recording. Its listed regulated-use posture targets healthcare, finance, and public-sector organizations.

Limits

The Free plan supports up to 3 members, 25 people per meeting, and 45-minute meetings. It includes 3 cloud-recorded meetings and 3 AI summaries per month. When per-meeting end-to-end encryption is enabled, cloud recording and AI recaps are unavailable; local recording remains available.

Verdict

Pick Olivasal if you need video meetings with recording and AI recaps, especially when self-hosting or local recording matters. The Free plan has limits on members, meeting size and length, cloud recordings, and summaries. Look elsewhere if per-meeting end-to-end encryption must remain enabled alongside cloud recording or AI recaps.
