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.

Video Conferencing Accessibility: A Practical Guide Beyond Captions

The MeetOye Team

PRODUCT

Video conferencing accessibility discussions often stop at captions, but genuine accessibility spans a wider range of needs: visual, auditory, motor, and cognitive. Building meetings that work for everyone requires attention across all of them, and it is both a legal requirement in many contexts and simply the right way to run an inclusive team.

Auditory accessibility

Live captions as a baseline, not an accommodation request: captions should be available by default, not something a deaf or hard-of-hearing participant has to specifically request and wait for each meeting.
Accurate speaker attribution in captions: knowing who is speaking matters as much as the words themselves for following a multi-person conversation via captions alone.
Post-meeting transcripts: for participants who process written content better than live captions, or who need to review content at their own pace afterward.

Visual accessibility

Screen reader compatible interfaces: meeting platform controls (mute, camera, chat) need proper labeling for screen reader navigation, not just visual icons.
Sufficient contrast and text sizing: shared screens and platform UI both need to meet basic contrast standards — a beautifully designed low-contrast interface is an accessibility failure regardless of aesthetics.
Audio descriptions for visual content: presenters sharing visual content (charts, diagrams, demos) should narrate what is being shown, not assume visibility is universal.

Motor and cognitive accessibility

Keyboard navigation for all core functions: muting, raising a hand, and joining should not require precise mouse control.
Predictable, uncluttered interfaces: cognitive load matters — an interface crowded with simultaneous notifications, chat, and video tiles is harder for many users to process regardless of disability status.
Adjustable pacing where possible: for cognitive accessibility, the ability to review a transcript or recap afterward — rather than requiring everything to be processed live — is itself an accommodation.

Language accessibility

For global and multilingual teams, language itself is an accessibility dimension. Live translation lets non-native speakers participate meaningfully in their own language rather than working at a disadvantage in a second language throughout the entire meeting. MeetOye's live translation, combined with Oya's captions and post-meeting recap, addresses auditory, cognitive, and language accessibility together — captions serve hard-of-hearing participants, the recap serves anyone who benefits from reviewing content afterward, and translation serves participants working outside their first language.

The practical starting point

Accessibility does not require solving every dimension before making progress. Turning on live captions and generating a post-meeting recap by default — both zero-configuration in MeetOye — covers a meaningful share of accessibility needs immediately, with more targeted accommodations layered in as specific needs are identified.
