SeaMeet

How It Works

Three steps. Zero setup.

01

Signal call starts on your computer

Open Signal and join or start a call as you normally would. No plugins, no extensions, no integrations to configure.

02

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.

03

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.

Summary

Three ways to do this

Three ways to record a Signal call

Recommended

SeaMeet desktop app + Signal Desktop

Auto-detects Signal calls on macOS and Windows. Captures at the system-audio level — Signal doesn't see it.

Best for: Signal Desktop users — the recommended path.

See how →

SeaMeet browser recorder + a virtual audio driver

Signal has no web client. If you must record via browser, use QuickTime + BlackHole (Mac) or the built-in Windows recorder — see the mac and windows guides.

Best for: Users who can't install the SeaMeet desktop app.

See how →

Phone screen recording

iOS Control Center → Screen Recording, Android → Screen Record quick tile. Captures video + your microphone; the far-end audio is model-dependent on both platforms.

Best for: Phone-only Signal users, quick captures.

Method 2 · SeaMeet browser recorder

How to record Signal 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 Signal host permissions.

  1. 01

    Install SeaMeet for Mac or Windows

    Go to seameet.ai/en/download → install for your OS. Signed installer, one-time UAC/permission grant.

  2. 02

    Grant screen + microphone permissions on first launch

    macOS prompts for Screen Recording + Microphone + Accessibility. Grant them once; SeaMeet remembers.

  3. 03

    Start or answer a Signal call in Signal Desktop

    Voice or video, one-on-one or group — SeaMeet detects all of them.

  4. 04

    Click Record when SeaMeet's notification appears

    Live transcript streams in the SeaMeet window.

  5. 05

    Recording ends when you leave the call

    Recording + transcript + AI summary land in your SeaMeet library. Local-first: nothing uploads during the call.

Why SeaMeet

What SeaMeet does that Signal doesn't

  • Recording — Signal deliberately has none

    Signal doesn't offer native call recording. E2E encryption is Signal's core value prop; native recording would work against it. SeaMeet records the decrypted audio at your device, not the wire.

  • Local-first, no cloud

    Signal recordings via SeaMeet stay on your machine by default. No cloud upload during the call. Matches Signal's privacy-first spirit.

  • Transcript in 20+ languages

    Signal shows no transcript, live or otherwise. SeaMeet transcribes as the call happens.

  • Works with group calls

    Signal group voice/video calls (up to 50 participants) work identically to 1:1 — SeaMeet captures the mixed audio with best-effort speaker attribution.

Common questions

Recording Signal — questions & answers

Does Signal have any built-in recording? +
No. Signal deliberately doesn't offer native recording — end-to-end encryption is core to Signal's value proposition and native recording would work against it. All recording paths on Signal are external.
Does recording break Signal's encryption? +
No. E2E encryption is a wire-level property — the call is encrypted between your device and theirs. SeaMeet records what your device has already decrypted and is playing. The encryption isn't bypassed; the local playback is captured.
Does the other person get notified? +
No. Signal doesn't know about the SeaMeet recorder. But recording someone without their consent is often illegal — Signal users especially care about privacy. Always disclose before starting.
Can I record a Signal group call? +
Yes. Signal supports up to 50 participants in group calls; SeaMeet captures the full mixed audio. Speaker attribution in the transcript is best-effort based on voice pattern; rename speakers after in your SeaMeet library.
What about disappearing messages — do they affect the recording? +
Disappearing messages are a text-chat feature. Voice and video calls aren't "disappearing" — they just aren't stored anywhere. SeaMeet's local recording persists on your machine regardless of any Signal message-retention setting.
Can I record without any of my data leaving my computer? +
Yes — SeaMeet's free tier records locally, no cloud upload during the call. The transcript is generated by SeaMeet's cloud service, but only the audio is uploaded for transcription (not stored). Sync Pro adds optional encrypted cloud sync.
Is it legal to record a Signal call? +
Depends heavily on jurisdiction. Two-party-consent laws are especially relevant here — Signal users often assume privacy. Get explicit consent before recording. Recording without consent may be a criminal offense in your jurisdiction.

How SeaMeet Detects Signal

SeaMeet detects Signal Desktop via its process and audio session. Voice and video calls are detected when they start.

Why SeaMeet for Signal?

Signal users chose Signal for privacy. SeaMeet is the only recorder that matches that ethos — recordings stay on your device, never touch a cloud server, and you bring your own AI keys.
