FAQ

Common questions

Does Otter join my calls as a bot? +
Yes. Otter's notetaker joins Zoom, Google Meet, and Microsoft Teams meetings as a participant to capture audio and write notes. Participants can see it. SeaMeet never joins your calls — it records your own browser tab or system audio locally.
Can Otter record a WhatsApp or LINE call? +
No. Otter's capture path is the meeting bot plus calendar integrations, which don't reach messaging-app calls. SeaMeet records WhatsApp Web, LINE, Telegram, Discord, and WeChat calls by capturing the audio your device is already playing.
Who owns the recording? +
With Otter, recordings and transcripts live in your Otter workspace in the cloud. SeaMeet is local-first: recordings stay on your machine by default, and cloud sync is an opt-in part of Sync Pro.
What does SeaMeet cost versus Otter? +
SeaMeet Sync Pro is $15.99/mo, or $12.99/mo billed annually. The free tier gives 6 hours of lifetime transcription with the first 15 minutes of each recording revealed. For Otter's current plans, see their pricing page — we don't quote competitor prices.
