Record Jitsi Meet Calls
Automatically
Record Jitsi Meet in your browser — open-source calls, no bot joining the room.
Meeting Call
Voice Call
How It Works
Three steps. Zero setup.
Jitsi Meet call starts on your computer
Open Jitsi 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 Jitsi Meet
SeaMeet browser recorder
meet.jit.si, 8x8.vc, or your own self-hosted server — Jitsi runs entirely in a browser tab. Open app.seameet.ai, pick the Jitsi tab, hit Start.
Best for: Anyone on free meet.jit.si or a self-hosted room without Jibri.
See how →SeaMeet desktop app
Auto-detects Jitsi calls at the system-audio level on macOS and Windows — including the Jitsi desktop client. Records locally, syncs via Sync Pro.
Best for: Daily Jitsi users and admins of self-hosted deployments.
See how →Self-hosted Jibri
The open-source way: Jibri joins your own Jitsi deployment as a hidden headless-Chrome participant and records server-side. Needs a dedicated machine and real configuration.
Best for: Self-hosters who want server-side recordings for every room.

How to record Jitsi 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 Jitsi Meet host permissions.
- 01
Open your Jitsi room in a browser tab
meet.jit.si/your-room, an 8x8.vc link, or your own deployment's URL — they all run the same Jitsi web client. Grant mic and camera prompts as usual; the room behaves exactly as it would without SeaMeet.
- 02
Open app.seameet.ai in a second tab
Same browser as the Jitsi room — Chrome, Edge, or Safari on desktop. No account required for the first 15 minutes.
- 03
Pick "A browser tab" and select the Jitsi tab
The browser's share dialog lists every open tab. Choose the Jitsi room, and tick "Also share tab audio" — that checkbox is what captures the other participants' voices. Miss it and you get silent video.
- 04
Leave transcription on Auto-detect
Jitsi communities are famously international. Auto-detect handles English + Mandarin, Spanish + English, and mixed-language rooms; set an explicit language only for monolingual calls.
- 05
Click Start recording
A live transcript streams into the SeaMeet tab while the meeting continues. Hit Stop when the room wraps — recording, transcript, and AI summary land in your SeaMeet library, ready to share back into the community.

Why SeaMeet
What SeaMeet does that self-hosted Jibri doesn't
-
No server, no config
Jibri needs a dedicated Linux machine with ALSA loopback, a headless Chrome, and Prosody/Jicofo changes before the record button even appears. SeaMeet is a tab-pick away.
-
Works on meet.jit.si today
The free meet.jit.si service ships no recording at all — that button exists only where someone configured Jibri or pays for 8x8. SeaMeet captures at your tab, so the server's setup is irrelevant.
-
Live transcript, not just an mp4
Jibri hands you a video file; Jitsi's live captions vanish when the call ends; transcription via Jigasi means more self-hosting. SeaMeet transcribes as the room talks, in 20+ languages.
-
Nothing joins the room
Jibri is a hidden-but-real participant that needs admitting and shows up in your infrastructure. SeaMeet records your own tab locally — no bot, no server round-trip, no cloud copy during the call.

How SeaMeet Detects Jitsi Meet
SeaMeet records Jitsi Meet straight from the browser tab — meet.jit.si, a self-hosted Jitsi server, or 8x8.vc. Nothing joins the call: you pick the meeting tab, keep tab audio on, and SeaMeet transcribes it live.
Why SeaMeet for Jitsi Meet?
The free meet.jit.si has no built-in cloud recording, and bots can't reliably join a self-hosted room. SeaMeet records the tab audio in the browser — no server config, no bot to admit, no download.
