What is MeetOye (Meet Oye)?

MeetOye — sometimes searched as "Meet Oye" — is an AI-native video meeting platform. It works like Google Meet or Zoom, but ships with Oya, a built-in AI assistant that transcribes, translates and recaps every call automatically, with no bot to invite and nothing to install.

Do guests need to install anything?

No. Anyone can join instantly from the browser on desktop or mobile. A Windows desktop beta is available for power users, and macOS is coming soon.

Is Oya really on by default?

Yes — Oya joins every call automatically to transcribe and, when the call ends, emails a recap with decisions and action items to all attendees. Hosts can disable it per meeting.

Who can see the transcript?

Only people who attended the meeting can access saved transcripts and recordings. Strict E2EE mode, when enabled, disables Oya, transcripts and recording so media keys stay in participant browsers. Standard meetings use encrypted transport.

Can we self-host MeetOye?

Teams can deploy MeetOye on-prem or in your own cloud, keeping all media and transcripts inside your network.

What does true 4K require?

4K · 60fps streams with adaptive bitrate, so calls stay smooth and automatically scale down on constrained networks.

Video Conferencing for Nonprofits: Stretching a Small Budget

The MeetOye Team

PRODUCT

Nonprofits run on video meetings — board sessions, donor calls, volunteer coordination, remote program delivery — with software budgets that round to zero. The good news: the free-tier landscape in 2026 is genuinely workable for most nonprofit needs, if you match the tool to the meeting type.

Matching tools to nonprofit meeting types

Board meetings: need reliability, recording or minutes, and dial-in-simple access for less technical board members. Browser-native joining matters — a board member stuck installing an app before a vote is a real failure mode.
Donor and funder calls: first impressions matter; a clean professional platform with no time-limit interruption mid-pitch is worth prioritizing. A Zoom free call that cuts off at 40 minutes during a major-gift conversation is a story every development director eventually tells.
Volunteer coordination: high headcount, low formality — the priority is zero-friction access for people who did not sign up for software onboarding.
Program delivery: recurring sessions, sometimes with accessibility requirements — live captions stop being optional.

Where the free tiers actually land

MeetOye: no group time limit and Oya AI notes included free — board minutes and donor-call follow-ups effectively write themselves.
Google Meet: 60-minute group cap on free; nonprofits eligible for Google for Nonprofits get Workspace discounts that lift it.
Zoom: 40-minute group cap free; discounted nonprofit pricing exists through TechSoup.
Jitsi Meet: unlimited and free forever, no AI, fully open-source — a solid fallback for internal coordination.

The minutes problem, solved cheaply

Boards require minutes; staff time is the scarcest nonprofit resource. An AI recap that captures decisions and action items automatically converts an hour of post-meeting secretarial work into ten minutes of review and formatting. For a nonprofit running monthly board meetings plus committee sessions, that is multiple staff-days per year recovered — from the free tier of a tool like MeetOye. Check TechSoup and each vendor's nonprofit program before paying list price for anything.
