# Best Meeting Bot API for Finance (2026) > Meeting bot API for finance teams: record and transcribe Zoom, Google Meet and Teams calls with per-participant audio, from $0.35/hr. Source: https://meetstream.ai/meeting-bot-api/finance ## Best Meeting Bot API for Finance (2026) Finance teams record client conversations because they have to keep them. A meeting bot API for finance has to support long retention you control, keep recordings in your own storage, and attribute speakers accurately across every call. Advisory calls, client onboarding, and deal conversations often carry recordkeeping obligations. That makes storage ownership and retention control the features that matter, not a consumer notetaker interface. A recording you cannot place in your own archive on your own schedule is a gap. MeetStream gives finance teams the primitives to build compliant capture: your own bot, per-participant audio and video across Zoom, Google Meet, and Microsoft Teams, and recordings written straight to your own S3 bucket with retention you define. For the full capability set behind these pages, see the meeting bot API overview. ### What finance teams need from a meeting bot API - Bring-your-own storage with retention and lifecycle you control - Encryption in transit and at rest for every recording and transcript - Per-participant separation for accurate attribution on client calls - Webhooks and participant events for an auditable record of each session - A visible, named bot that supports disclosure and consent ### Retention and archival on your terms With bring-your-own S3, recordings land in your own bucket and account, so retention, lifecycle, and access policies are yours to set. That makes it straightforward to fit meeting capture into an existing archival process rather than working around a vendor default. ### An auditable record of every session Participant events and webhooks give you a timeline of who joined, when, and for how long, delivered to your systems as the call happens. Combined with encrypted per-participant recordings, that is a defensible record rather than a black box. MeetStream is ISO 27001 certified and GDPR compliant, and is under audit for SOC 2 Type 2. Reach info@meetstream.ai for a security review. ### How MeetStream handles advisory and client-call workloads Advisory firms and the products built for them tend to care about two things before features: where the recording lives, and how long it stays there. Recordings and transcripts are retained for thirty days by default. Point MeetStream at your own S3 bucket and every artifact is written into your account instead, which means your lifecycle rules, your object lock and your retention schedule govern the record from the moment it is created rather than after an export step. Without your own bucket, recordings remain on MeetStream infrastructure for the thirty-day window. That is a deliberate default rather than a hard limit: teams with a longer obligation are expected to bring their own storage, because a retention period you do not control is not a retention policy. Bots run in the United States by default. EU, Australia, Japan and the Middle East are available, and other regions on request, which covers most data-residency conversations before they become blockers. A bot records for four hours by default and can be extended to ten, set through the API. There is no cap on how many bots run at once, so a quarter-end week with every advisor in back-to-back client calls does not need capacity planning on your side. MeetStream is ISO 27001 certified, with SOC 2 Type 2 currently under audit. Service levels are agreed per customer. ### Frequently asked questions Yes.
