Civic town halls: online meeting software for civic groups, resident bodies and public-interest organisations

Civic discussions need an orderly way to hear many voices. KEZAYO webinars let organisers present, collect questions and moderate discussion with captions to widen access.

KEZAYO Meet is made in India by BIDUA Industries and is priced in rupees, so you can try it free and pay only when you need more.

Civic discussions work when they are orderly. Set ground rules at the start, use a moderator to take questions and give every speaker the same amount of time. Captions and a browser link help more people take part, including those who join from phones.

Publish a summary afterwards covering the issues raised, the answers given and what will happen next. A clear record builds trust with the community.
