What is Recall.ai?
Recall.ai is the API for capturing and using meeting data, including recordings, transcripts, metadata, and real-time audio/video streams from video conferencing platforms. It provides a unified API to get transcripts, recordings, and metadata from meetings on Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Webex, GoTo Meeting, and Slack Huddles.
The platform offers several form factors to capture meeting data: Meeting Bot API (bots that join calls to record), Desktop Recording SDK (records without a bot in the call for a stealthier experience), Mobile Recording SDK for in-person meetings and cell phone calls, and Calendar API for syncing meeting metadata like participant emails and meeting titles. Recall.ai features 100% accurate speaker identification by capturing each person's audio separately, professional-quality recordings that look clean rather than like screen recordings, and the ability to switch between speaker and gallery view.
Recall.ai is designed for developers building meeting recording products, AI scribes, note-taking apps, sales tools, healthcare applications needing HIPAA compliance, and any company that needs reliable infrastructure for capturing conversations. Over 3000+ customers use Recall.ai, including companies building AI agents, legal tech products, and healthcare solutions. The platform integrates with third-party transcription providers or offers built-in Recall.ai transcription, and supports real-time streaming of transcripts and media for building interactive AI agents.
Key features include video and audio recordings (async and real-time), participant names and metadata, sending/receiving meeting chat messages, displaying video and playing audio in meetings (for AI avatars), choosing between US/EU/JP data residency, and white-glove support for Enterprise plans. The API can be integrated in just 24 hours with a couple lines of code to deploy to production.
