I am a hobbyist rather than an executive hosting lots of meetings so was interested in uploading audio and video to transcribe and edit. I purchased MG after reading the following questions as it seemed that this use case would be ok from the answers :
After reading the following Q and A
Q Can I upload an audio or video file I want to transcribe ?
A Hi and thanks for your question!
Although our main use is through Zoom (paying accounts) and Microsoft Teams, we have big plans and we intend to release soon integrations
for other major conferencing platforms. If you don’t use Zoom or Microsoft Teams, you can still upload audio or video files and obtain similar results.
Hopefully this information helps!
Q This app looks fantastic.
You mentioned in the introduction that you can upload audio and video files.
Does this mean I can upload:
1) previously recorded podcasts?
2) Youtube & Vimeo videos?
3) Previously recorded (stored on a computer/Google Drive) videos?
Thank you in advance for your response.
A Hi there,
You can upload any media file (.mp4, .mp3, .wav, .mpeg, .avi). You can check the status of the analysis on the Uploads page
and you will receive an email when the output is available.
Also, the Uploads have a separate section in your past meetings collection.
Thank you,
Iulian
Q Instead of uploading a video or audio, can I just play the video/audio and have the words transcribed as found in otter.ai
A We have in the roadmap the possibility to press a button and record while getting the transcription.

I've made a note to prioritize this.
Q You mentioned that uploading audio and video files is a possibility (this is good news for those of us who use the Zoom free version or something else).
Is the transcription output quality any different from natively-recorded calls in Zoom premium? Are there any disadvantages
(other than the time and inconvenience) to uploading audio/video files ourselves?
A Hi there,
There is no difference in the transcription quality!
Using Zoom natively will give you the speaker names and some extra metrics.
Uploading gives you the speaker number and almost all of the MG functionality.
then after purchasing MG say there is 10 hour limit on uploads and they have not
posted some questions about it , I was going to do a video review and purchase a higher tier , so maybe they want to lose custom of hobbyists.

May 9, 2024Hi @bhagsy! Thank you so much for your review.
As mentioned in Raluca's comment (which you can see here: https://appsumo.com/products/meetgeek/#q809668) or Dan's additional thoughts (which can be found here: https://appsumo.com/products/meetgeek/#q809927), we've given a few reasons on why Meetgeek is designed as a meetings tool first as well as our current stance on that matter.
We are very happy to hear that you want to use our tool for transcribing purposes as well, however, for the time being we don't have any set plans to change any limits on that end, as it is not the main focus of our platform. Still, we are always analyzing our users' use cases and trying to improve Meetgeek. Your feedback is greatly welcomed in that regard!
We appreciate your review and hope that you'll keep enjoying Meetgeek!
