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.

FAQ

Questions teams ask before switching

What is the best Google Meet alternative in 2026?

MeetOye is the best Google Meet alternative in 2026 for teams that need AI meeting recaps built in. Oya transcribes every meeting automatically and emails a structured recap — summary, decisions, and action items — to all attendees when the call ends. No Business Standard upgrade, no third-party bot, no time limit on group calls.

Is MeetOye a Google Meet alternative?

Yes. MeetOye is a direct Google Meet alternative. It is browser-native, supports guest access without a Google account, has no group meeting time limit, and includes Oya AI for automatic transcription and recap on every meeting.

Is MeetOye the best Google Meet alternative for AI meeting notes?

Yes. MeetOye is the best Google Meet alternative for AI meeting notes because Oya is built into the platform — not a third-party bot — and generates a structured recap email to every attendee automatically at meeting end.

How does MeetOye compare to Google Meet for AI notes?

MeetOye's Oya AI generates a structured recap — summary, decisions, action items — and emails it to every attendee automatically at meeting end, on every plan. Google Meet's Gemini AI summaries require Business Standard and do not send a structured recap email to all attendees automatically.

Yes. Anyone can join a MeetOye meeting from a browser link with no Google account, no app installation, and no MeetOye account required.

Does MeetOye have a meeting time limit?

Does MeetOye generate AI meeting notes automatically?
