Best Meeting Bot API for Legal Tech (2026)
A meeting bot API for legal tech names every speaker precisely. Depositions and matter calls stay in storage you control, with clean transcripts that hold up in review.
What legal tech teams need from a meeting bot API
Who said what is the record. Legal teams want the parts under the screen: separate streams, exact times, storage they own.
Each line maps to the right person, from separate streams.
Files live in your own S3 bucket and region.
In transit and at rest, on every recording and transcript.
Participant events record who joined and when.
The security page lists every control.
From a meeting link to your product
One request puts a bot in the call. A webhook tells you when the files are ready.
- A named bot in the roomPeople can see it, which helps with disclosure and consent.
- Records and streams liveAudio and video while the meeting runs, on all three platforms.
- One API, three platformsZoom, Google Meet and Microsoft Teams from the same request.
What you get from every legal recording
The meeting bot API overview covers all three platforms.
Accurate speaker attribution, not guesswork
Each name comes from the platform, on separate audio per person.
- A stream for each personComplete on Zoom, and per active speaker on Google Meet and Teams.
- Word-level timingsEvery line carries the speaker, the words, and start and end times.
- One device, one participantA shared room device or a phone dial-in arrives as one participant.
What every legal recording returns
| Artefact | What arrives |
|---|---|
| Transcript | JSON, one entry per line, with speaker, words and timings |
| Composed recording | MP4 of the meeting as it played out |
| Per-participant audio | WebM/Opus at 48 kHz for each participant |

Got a question? We got the answer.
Common questions about legal calls. Where files live, how names are set, and how long a bot can stay.
Can recordings stay in our own storage?
Yes. With bring-your-own S3, MeetStream writes recordings and transcripts straight to your own bucket, in your region and account. You control retention and access.
How accurate is speaker attribution?
Each speaker gets their own audio stream on Zoom, Google Meet, and Microsoft Teams. It is fully isolated on Zoom, and speaker-attributed on Google Meet and Teams. Attribution rests on real separation from the platform itself.
Is the bot visible in the meeting?
Yes. The bot joins as a named participant that people can see, which helps with disclosure and consent in the room.
Can a bot record a full-day deposition?
Yes. The default limit is four hours. You can raise it to five hours through the API, which covers full-day proceedings end to end.
A verbatim record, in an account you govern.
Depositions, client intake and matter calls. One API records them, and the files land in storage you own.
