Recall.ai: Universal API for Meeting Bots & Transcripts

Recall.ai gives developers one unified API to deploy meeting bots and pull real-time video, audio, and transcript data from Zoom, Google Meet, Teams, and more.

Overview

Recall.ai eliminates the headache of building and maintaining separate integrations for every video conferencing platform. Instead of writing custom code for Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Webex, and other tools, developers can plug into a single unified API that deploys meeting bots capable of capturing raw audio, video, transcripts, and metadata in real time. This works even on platforms that lack official developer APIs, since Recall.ai only needs a meeting link to join and record. Beyond simple recording, the platform offers speaker diarization and structured metadata, making it easy to build downstream products like CRM auto-loggers, interview analytics dashboards, clinical documentation assistants, or legal deposition transcribers. Because bots can join meetings regardless of host permissions or subscription tier, Recall.ai is built to work reliably across real-world scenarios that engineering teams actually encounter. Whether you're a startup building an AI notetaker or an enterprise team automating compliance recording, Recall.ai handles the messy infrastructure work of connecting to disparate meeting platforms so your team can focus on building the product experience on top of the data.
