meeto 0.3.3

Google Meet bot for meeting transcription, recording, and speech-to-text. Join meetings automatically, capture audio, and transcribe in real time with speaker attribution.

meeto

Open-source Google Meet bot. Join meetings, capture audio, and transcribe in real time using Playwright and pluggable STT providers.

Installation

pip install meeto
playwright install chromium

Quick Start

The simplest way to use meeto is guest mode — no Google account needed. The bot joins the meeting as a guest and waits for the host to admit it.

import asyncio
from meeto import run_meeting_worker
from meeto.config import WorkerConfig, JoinConfig, SttConfig

config = WorkerConfig(
    meeting_id="my-meeting-001",
    meet_url="https://meet.google.com/abc-defg-hij",
    join=JoinConfig(
        bot_name="Meeto Bot",
    ),
    stt=SttConfig(
        provider="deepgram",
        api_key="YOUR_DEEPGRAM_API_KEY",
    ),
)

asyncio.run(run_meeting_worker(config))

Or via the CLI example:

PYTHONPATH=src python scripts/example.py https://meet.google.com/abc-defg-hij --bot-name "Meeto Bot" --no-headless

Audio dumps are saved to ./audio/ and transcripts to ./transcripts/ by default.

Note: Guest mode requires a display — see Deployment for running on servers and containers.

Authenticated Mode

To join meetings as a Google account (no waiting room), generate a browser session first:

meeto-auth --output storage_state.json

This opens a Chromium window. Log in to Google, then press Enter in the terminal.

config = WorkerConfig(
    meeting_id="my-meeting-001",
    meet_url="https://meet.google.com/abc-defg-hij",
    duration_seconds=3600,
    join=JoinConfig(
        headless=True,
        storage_state_path="storage_state.json",
    ),
    stt=SttConfig(
        provider="deepgram",
        api_key="YOUR_DEEPGRAM_API_KEY",
    ),
)

asyncio.run(run_meeting_worker(config))

Deployment

Guest Mode on Servers / Containers

Google blocks headless browsers from joining meetings via server-side bot detection. To run guest mode in a headless environment, use Xvfb to provide a virtual display. meeto automatically detects the DISPLAY environment variable and switches to headed mode.

Quick option — wrap your process with xvfb-run:

apt-get install -y xvfb
xvfb-run python your_bot_script.py

Docker — start Xvfb in your entrypoint:

RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y xvfb
ENV DISPLAY=:99

#!/bin/bash
Xvfb :99 -screen 0 1920x1080x24 &
sleep 1
exec python your_bot_script.py

Authenticated Mode on Servers / Containers

Authenticated mode uses a saved Google session (storage_state.json), which Google trusts as a real user. This means it works with headless=True out of the box — no Xvfb, no virtual display, no extra system dependencies.

config = WorkerConfig(
    meeting_id="my-meeting-001",
    meet_url="https://meet.google.com/abc-defg-hij",
    join=JoinConfig(
        headless=True,
        storage_state_path="storage_state.json",
    ),
)

Generate storage_state.json once on a machine with a display (your laptop), then copy it to the server or bake it into your deployment secrets.

Environment Variable Config

For container/job deployments, build config from env vars:

from meeto.config import worker_config_from_env

config = worker_config_from_env()

Required: MEETING_ID, MEET_URL. See meeto/config/env_config.py for the full list.

Configuration

Field	Type	Default	Description
meeting_id	str	required	Unique identifier for the meeting
meet_url	str	required	Google Meet URL
duration_seconds	int	3600	Max recording duration
audio	AudioConfig	defaults	Audio capture settings
stt	SttConfig	defaults	Speech-to-text settings
join	JoinConfig	defaults	Browser join settings

Extending

Custom Storage Adapter

By default, artifacts stay local. To upload to cloud storage (S3, GCS, etc.), implement ArtifactStorageAdapter:

from meeto.storage import ArtifactStorageAdapter

class S3StorageAdapter(ArtifactStorageAdapter):
    def upload(self, local_path, content_type="application/octet-stream"):
        return f"s3://my-bucket/{local_path}"

asyncio.run(run_meeting_worker(config, storage_adapter=S3StorageAdapter()))

Custom Meeting State Store

By default, meeting lifecycle state is kept in memory. To persist state (e.g. to a database), implement MeetingLifecycleStore:

from meeto.state_store import MeetingLifecycleStore

class PostgresMeetingStore(MeetingLifecycleStore):
    def update_status(self, meeting_id, *, status, ended_at=None, transcription_path=None):
        ...

    def heartbeat(self, meeting_id):
        ...

asyncio.run(run_meeting_worker(config, state_store=PostgresMeetingStore()))

Custom STT Provider

Meeto ships with Deepgram support. To add your own STT provider, implement STTStreamingAdapter:

from meeto.stt import STTStreamingAdapter, register_stt

class MySTTAdapter(STTStreamingAdapter):
    async def connect(self): ...
    async def send_audio(self, pcm_bytes): ...
    async def start(self, on_segment): ...
    async def close(self): ...

register_stt("my_provider", MySTTAdapter)

Then set SttConfig(provider="my_provider").

Logging

meeto uses Python's standard logging module and does not configure any handlers itself. To see logs, configure logging in your application:

import logging
logging.basicConfig(level=logging.INFO)

For finer control:

logging.getLogger("meeto").setLevel(logging.DEBUG)         # all meeto logs
logging.getLogger("meeto.stt").setLevel(logging.WARNING)   # quieter STT logs
