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.

Google Meet Alternative That Doesn't Require a Google Account

The MeetOye Team

PRODUCT

MeetOye is the best Google Meet alternative for teams that host meetings with external guests who don't have Google accounts. Google Meet works seamlessly inside Google Workspace, but for external guests — clients, partners, prospects — the join experience can create friction. MeetOye guest access requires only a browser link.

Is MeetOye better than Google Meet for external guests?

Yes. Anyone can join a MeetOye meeting from a browser link with no Google account, no Gmail, no Workspace subscription, and no app download. The join experience is identical for a team member and an external guest.

Why client-facing teams switch from Google Meet to MeetOye

Guests join from a browser link — no Google account required
No app download or plugin needed
Works on any device with a modern browser
Oya AI generates recap automatically — no manual notes for the host
Professional recap email sent to all attendees after the meeting

What is the guest experience difference between Google Meet and MeetOye?

Google Meet's guest experience depends on whether the organizer's plan allows anonymous guests, and Google accounts are required for some meeting types. MeetOye's browser-link join is the same for everyone — zero friction for external guests who don't use Google products.
