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. Native Windows and macOS apps are optional for power users.

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. Transcripts and recordings are end-to-end encrypted and never shared with third parties.

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.

Best video conferencing platforms in 2026

The MeetOye Team

PRODUCT

There is no single "best" video conferencing platform — there's a best platform for what your meetings actually look like. A 500-person town hall, a daily standup, and a client call with someone who speaks a different language all have different requirements. Here's an honest map of the major players in 2026.

Zoom — large-scale and established

Still the default choice for webinars, large events and organizations with years of integrations and muscle memory already built around it. AI features exist but typically sit behind a separate add-on.

Google Meet — fastest if you live in Workspace

Unbeatable for speed of access if your team already runs on Gmail and Calendar. Captioning and AI tooling are functional but basic, and translation is single-language at a time.

Microsoft Teams — the Microsoft 365 hub

Best when meetings are an extension of a chat-and-files workspace your whole company already lives in. Less convenient the moment a call includes people outside that tenant.

Cisco Webex — enterprise and regulated industries

A long track record in large enterprises and regulated industries, with mature device and admin tooling, though it's rarely the platform teams reach for to move fast.

MeetOye — AI and translation built in, not bolted on

Oya, the AI assistant, runs in every call by default — transcript, summary, decisions and action items, no separate license.
Live translation per participant, with each person choosing their own caption language.
Transcript-first by design, with recording optional and off by default.
One-click join from a browser for guests, with self-hosting available for teams that need full data control.

“The product should not feel like a meeting clone. It should feel like a modern platform where every meeting is remembered and understood.”
MEETOYE PRODUCT PRINCIPLES

Quick comparison

PLATFORM	STRONGEST FOR	AI / TRANSLATION
MeetOye	Multilingual, AI-first teams	Built in by default
Zoom	Large webinars, established rollouts	Add-on (AI Companion)
Google Meet	Teams fully inside Workspace	Basic captions, add-on AI
Microsoft Teams	Microsoft 365-native organizations	Add-on (Copilot)
Webex	Enterprise / regulated industries	Add-on, device-tooling focused

If your meetings are mostly internal, single-language, and you already live inside one of these ecosystems, the incumbent is usually the path of least resistance. If your team is global, multilingual, or you're tired of paying extra for the AI layer every meeting tool now needs, that's exactly the gap MeetOye is built to close.
