Record Zoom Calls
Automatically
Record Zoom meetings invisibly — no bot participant, no notification, no cloud upload.
Board Meeting
Joining meeting...
How It Works
Three steps. Zero setup.
Zoom call starts on your computer
Open Zoom 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 Zoom meeting
SeaMeet browser recorder
Open app.seameet.ai, pick the Zoom tab, hit Start. Works whether you host or attend. No download, no signup, live transcript.
Best for: Everyone who is not the host, or hosts on the free Zoom plan.
See how →SeaMeet desktop app
Local-first recording that auto-detects Zoom calls on macOS and Windows. Better for daily use — recordings survive across sessions and sync via Sync Pro.
Best for: Frequent hosts who want unlimited length and offline capture.
See how →Zoom Cloud Recording
Zoom's built-in feature. Requires you to be the host and on a paid Zoom plan (Pro or above). Participants see a "This meeting is being recorded" banner.
Best for: Paid Zoom hosts who want Zoom's own transcript in Zoom's dashboard.

How to record Zoom 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 Zoom host permissions.
- 01
Open app.seameet.ai in a new browser tab
Chrome, Edge, or Safari on desktop. Firefox works too but tab-audio capture is browser-specific — see the FAQ below. No account required for the first 15 minutes.
- 02
Under "MY SCREEN", pick "A browser tab"
The browser will show a picker with every open tab. Choose your Zoom meeting tab. This is the option that captures both the video feed and the meeting audio.
- 03
Turn on "Share tab audio" in the picker
This is the toggle that decides whether the other participants' voices are captured. If you miss it, you'll get silent video. Chrome and Edge both surface it in the same picker as a checkbox.
- 04
Pick a transcription language (or leave on Auto-detect)
Auto-detect handles English + Mandarin, English + Japanese, and 20+ languages solo. Set an explicit language if the meeting is monolingual — accuracy is slightly higher.
- 05
Click Start recording
A live transcript appears in the SeaMeet tab as the meeting continues. When the call ends, click Stop — SeaMeet keeps the recording plus transcript in your library. First 15 minutes are free; Sync Pro unlocks unlimited length.

Why SeaMeet
What SeaMeet does that Zoom Cloud Recording doesn't
-
Works on Zoom's free plan
Zoom Cloud Recording is a paid-tier feature. SeaMeet captures the audio at the browser-tab level, so the Zoom plan doesn't matter.
-
No "recording" banner for other participants
Zoom shows all attendees a visible notification when Cloud Recording is on. SeaMeet captures your own tab locally — nothing is broadcast into the Zoom room. Get explicit consent before recording anyway (see FAQ).
-
Works whether you're the host or not
Zoom Cloud Recording is only available to the host, or to co-hosts the host has explicitly granted permission. SeaMeet doesn't depend on your role in the meeting.
-
Live transcript in 20+ languages
Zoom's live transcript is English-only on most plans. SeaMeet's auto-detect handles English, Mandarin, Cantonese, Japanese, Korean, Spanish, French, German, and 15+ more — including mixed-language conversations.

How SeaMeet Detects Zoom
SeaMeet detects Zoom via its desktop process and audio session. Works with both the Zoom desktop app and Zoom in your browser. Detection starts within seconds of joining a call.
Why SeaMeet for Zoom?
Cloud bots add a visible "Otter.ai has joined" or "Fireflies.ai is recording" notification that changes the dynamic of the meeting. SeaMeet records at the OS level — nobody knows.
