Record Google Meet Calls
Automatically
Record Google Meet in any browser — no extension, no bot, no "someone is recording" notification.
Team Standup
Joining meeting...
How It Works
Three steps. Zero setup.
Google Meet call starts on your computer
Open Google Meet and join or start a call as you normally would. No plugins, no extensions, no integrations to configure.
SeaMeet detects it automatically — no setup needed
SeaMeet monitors your system audio in the background. The moment a call begins, it recognizes the audio stream and prepares to record.
Recording starts invisibly. No bot. No notification to others.
Because SeaMeet captures audio at the system level, there is no bot joining the call, no recording indicator for other participants, and no cloud upload during the call.
What You Get
More than just recording
Invisible recording
No one in the call knows you are recording. No bot joins, no popup appears, no recording badge shows up.
AI transcription
Automatic speech-to-text powered by on-device and cloud AI models. Supports 90+ languages with speaker identification.
AI summaries
Get action items, decisions, and key points extracted automatically after every call. Never write meeting notes again.
Flashback
Forgot to hit record? Flashback saves the last 2 minutes of audio retroactively. Capture what you missed.
Local-first
Recordings stay on your device by default. No cloud upload, no third-party access, no data leaving your machine.

Three ways to do this
Three ways to record a Google Meet
SeaMeet browser recorder
Open app.seameet.ai, pick your Google Meet tab, hit Start. Any Google account works — free, Workspace, or personal.
Best for: Anyone without a Google Workspace paid plan.
See how →SeaMeet desktop app
Auto-detects Meet calls, records locally, syncs on Sync Pro. Best if Meet is your daily driver and you want a background recorder.
Best for: Daily Meet users who want unlimited length + offline capture.
See how →Google Meet native recording
Meet's built-in feature. Requires a paid Google Workspace plan (Business Standard or above) AND that you're the meeting host or organizer. All participants see a "This meeting is being recorded" chip.
Best for: Workspace admins who want the recording to land in the organizer's Drive.

How to record Google Meet in your browser (no signup)
Runs in Chrome, Edge, or Safari on desktop. Free for the first 15 minutes — Sync Pro removes the cap. No download, no Google Meet host permissions.
- 01
Join or start the Google Meet call as usual
The browser recorder captures anything that runs in a browser tab — you don't need to change how you join Meet.
- 02
Open app.seameet.ai in a new tab
Same browser as the Meet call (Chrome, Edge, or Safari on desktop). Meet works in Firefox too but tab-audio capture is browser-specific.
- 03
Choose "A browser tab" and pick the Meet tab
The browser's picker lists every open tab. Select your Google Meet tab, and remember to tick "Share tab audio" — otherwise you'll get silent video.
- 04
Optionally set the transcription language
Auto-detect handles most cases. Set it explicitly if the meeting is monolingual — accuracy is a hair higher for e.g. Japanese-only or Spanish-only calls.
- 05
Click Start recording
Live captions stream into the SeaMeet tab. When the Meet call ends, hit Stop. The recording lands in your SeaMeet library with a transcript + AI summary ready to share.
15 min free · works on Chrome, Edge, Safari desktop
Why SeaMeet
What SeaMeet does that Google Meet's native recording doesn't
-
Works without Google Workspace
Meet's built-in recording requires a paid Workspace plan. SeaMeet captures at the browser tab — your Google plan is irrelevant.
-
Works if you're not the host
Meet only lets the host (or an assigned co-host) record. SeaMeet doesn't care about your role — attendees, guests, and hosts all record the same way.
-
No 8-hour recording cap
Meet limits recordings to 8 hours. SeaMeet's browser recorder is capped only by your local storage (Sync Pro clears that cap entirely).
-
Automatic summary + action items
Meet gives you the video file. SeaMeet returns transcript + summary + action items + share link, ready to paste into a follow-up email.
