Do the other people see that I’m recording?
No. No bot joins the call, and nothing appears on their screens. So tell them yourself before you start. While a call is recording, KediMeet offers a short note to copy into the call chat: it says that you’re recording and asks whether everyone is fine with it.
Is it legal to record my calls?
That depends on where you and the others are. Some US states require consent from everyone on the call, and in the EU you need a legal basis under the GDPR. A simple habit: say it at the start and ask if anyone minds. This isn’t legal advice.
Where does my audio go with KediMeet Pro?
Over HTTPS to our server, which forwards it to ElevenLabs for speech-to-text. The transcript goes through our server to OpenAI for summaries and chat. Our server keeps neither, only your access code and usage counts. ElevenLabs and OpenAI handle the data under their own terms and may keep it under their policies. Details are in the privacy policy.
Can everything stay on my Mac?
Switch to “On this Mac” and KediMeet transcribes on your Mac, so the audio never leaves it. Summaries and chat then go through your own OpenAI or OpenRouter key, and only the text is sent there. Without a key, nothing is sent. The first local transcription downloads several gigabytes of speech models.
Which calls does it record?
Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Zoom, Webex, Whereby, Jitsi Meet and several more, in the browser and in the desktop apps.
How does it know people’s names?
In Chrome, Arc and other Chromium browsers, the KediMeet extension reads participant names from the call page and passes them to the app on the same Mac, nowhere else. The extension’s code is open on GitHub, so you can check that yourself. How much it can read depends on where the call runs:
| Where the call runs | Names | Who is speaking |
|---|
| Google Meet, in the browser | Yes | Yes, while the tab stays visible |
| Zoom, web client | Yes | Yes, with the participants list open |
| Webex, Whereby, Jitsi Meet, in the browser | Yes | Yes |
| Microsoft Teams, in the browser | Yes | Told apart by voice |
| Desktop apps: Zoom, Teams and others | Speaker 1, Speaker 2 | Told apart by voice |
Wherever a name is missing or wrong, click it in the transcript and type the right one.
Why isn’t it in the App Store?
The App Store sandbox would block the transcription engine KediMeet runs on your Mac. The app is signed with a Developer ID and notarized by Apple.
What Mac do I need?
Apple silicon and macOS 26.
What happens when my Pro hours run out?
Pro includes 20 hours of calls a month. Unused hours roll over to the next month, up to 20 extra. When a friend subscribes to Pro and enters your invitation code, you both get 5 more hours. If the hours do run out, cloud transcription waits for the next month. Your recordings stay on your Mac.
How do I cancel?
In KediMeet, open KediMeet Pro and click Manage subscription. That’s where you change the card, cancel or download receipts. If you ask within 14 days of paying, we refund the full amount: see the refund policy.
Which languages does it speak?
The app speaks English, German, French, Spanish, Japanese and Russian. KediMeet detects the language of each call, or you pick one in Settings.
