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.

Cisco Webex Alternative: Why Teams Are Switching in 2026

The MeetOye Team

PRODUCT

Teams are choosing MeetOye as their Cisco Webex alternative in 2026 because they want AI meeting recaps, browser-first simplicity, and straightforward pricing — without enterprise contracts, hardware endpoints, or the complexity of the full Cisco collaboration stack. Webex is a mature platform built for large enterprises. For teams that don't need enterprise-scale compliance or Cisco hardware, it's often more than they need.

Why are teams switching from Cisco Webex in 2026?

The main drivers: AI features require higher-tier Webex plans, the platform's complexity is designed for enterprise IT teams rather than growing startups, and the cost-per-seat model becomes expensive for teams that only need core meeting functionality.

Is MeetOye a good Cisco Webex alternative?

Yes. MeetOye gives teams browser-first meetings with Oya AI built in — automatic transcription, AI recap, action items, and Ask Oya. No enterprise contract, no hardware dependency, no minimum seat count. Guests join from a link without a Cisco account.

What does MeetOye offer that Webex doesn't for growing teams?

Oya AI recap included in every meeting without a separate AI tier
Browser-first — no Webex client or Cisco account required for guests
Simpler pricing without enterprise minimum commitments
Ask Oya to query any past meeting after the call
Live translation for multilingual teams included
