How It Works

Three steps. Zero setup.

01

WeChat call starts on your computer

Open WeChat 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.

Why SeaMeet

What SeaMeet does that WeChat doesn't

  • Recording — WeChat has none for calls

    WeChat doesn't offer built-in call recording, on either the consumer or Work version.

  • Live Mandarin and Cantonese transcription

    SeaMeet's Chinese transcription is a core strength — Mandarin (Simplified + Traditional), Cantonese, and Mandarin-Cantonese switching all handle cleanly. Same for mixed English-Chinese business conversations.

  • Works across the Great Firewall

    SeaMeet's servers are outside China, so cross-border calls between mainland WeChat users and international counterparts capture without regional lag issues.

  • Portable file, independent of WeChat

    WeChat's chat backups are stuck inside WeChat. SeaMeet recordings are yours — mp4 or exported transcript, accessible anywhere.

Common questions

Recording WeChat — questions & answers

Does WeChat have call recording built in? +
No — neither WeChat (consumer) nor WeChat Work (企业微信) offers native call recording. All recording paths are external.
Does the transcription handle Cantonese? +
Yes. SeaMeet's Cantonese transcription is a specialty — Hong Kong and Guangdong business Cantonese, casual Cantonese, and Mandarin-Cantonese switching all work well. This is a rare capability among transcription services.
Can I record a cross-border WeChat call (China ↔ international)? +
Yes. Whatever your device plays through WeChat, SeaMeet captures at the system-audio level. Cross-border call quality can be lower due to Great Firewall latency, but SeaMeet's transcription is robust to typical audio degradation.
What about WeChat Work group meetings? +
WeChat Work's conference feature supports up to 300 participants. SeaMeet captures the full mixed audio. For enterprise users, this is often the only way to get a durable meeting record — WeChat Work's chat history doesn't include call content.
Can I record WeChat voice messages (语音)? +
Voice messages are files, not calls. Download the file (long-press → save on mobile, or drag from WeChat Desktop) and upload to SeaMeet's "Import file" flow.
Does the other person get notified? +
No. WeChat doesn't know about SeaMeet. In Chinese business contexts, recording without disclosure can be considered impolite even where it's technically legal — announce it at the start.
Is it legal to record a WeChat call in China? +
Chinese law generally permits one-party consent for personal recording, but recording others in a business context without disclosure may violate workplace policy or civil privacy protections. Get explicit consent — this is standard etiquette in Chinese business.

How SeaMeet Detects WeChat

SeaMeet detects WeChat for Windows via its process name and audio session. Voice and video calls are detected automatically when they start.

Why SeaMeet for WeChat?

WeChat has no third-party recording integration. No bot can join a WeChat call. SeaMeet captures at the system audio level — the only path to recording WeChat calls with AI-powered transcription and summaries.
