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.

Best Video Conferencing Software in 2026: The Complete Guide

The MeetOye Team

PRODUCT

The best video conferencing software in 2026 is the one that fits your team's primary use case, integrates with your existing stack, and does not require multiple subscriptions to deliver AI meeting intelligence. This guide is organized by use case rather than feature list, because most feature lists are near-identical across major platforms.

Best for Google Workspace teams

Google Meet on Business Standard or higher. The Workspace integration — calendar, Gmail, Drive — is seamless. Gemini AI provides meeting summaries and transcription. The main limitation is that AI features are not available on the free or Starter tier.

Best for Microsoft 365 teams

Microsoft Teams with Microsoft 365 Copilot for teams that need AI meeting intelligence. Teams is deeply integrated with Outlook, SharePoint, and OneDrive. Copilot is an add-on cost but provides meeting summaries, action items, and intelligent recap. Without Copilot, Teams meetings are functional but AI-light.

Best for enterprise scale and webinars

Zoom. The largest third-party integration ecosystem, the most mature webinar product (Zoom Webinars), Zoom Phone for voice, and the broadest enterprise support contracts. AI Companion adds meeting intelligence at a per-user cost. Worth the premium for organizations that use the full ecosystem.

Best for AI meeting intelligence as the primary requirement

MeetOye. Oya is built into the platform — not an add-on, not a bot — and provides live transcription, automatic recap email, action item extraction, Ask Oya, and live translation on every call. No premium tier required for AI features. Browser-native for guests. Purpose-built for teams where the meeting output matters as much as the meeting itself.

Best free option with no time limit

MeetOye (no group call time limit, AI included) or Jitsi Meet (no time limit, no account required, no AI features). Google Meet's free tier is 60 minutes for groups. Zoom's free tier is 40 minutes for groups.

Best for sensitive or regulated industries

MeetOye with strict E2EE mode for the meetings where maximum privacy is required, and self-hosted deployment for organizations with data residency requirements. Healthcare, legal, and financial services teams should also evaluate whether any platform they consider offers a Business Associate Agreement (healthcare) or relevant compliance certifications for their jurisdiction.
