MeetStream CLI

The MeetStream meeting-bot API from your terminal

View as Markdown

The @meetstream/cli package puts the full MeetStream API in your terminal. Create bots that join Zoom, Google Meet, and Microsoft Teams meetings; record, transcribe, and interact — without writing a line of code.

$npm install -g @meetstream/cli     # or: npx @meetstream/cli ...
$meetstream auth set-key <YOUR_API_KEY>
$meetstream bot create "https://meet.google.com/abc-defg-hij" -t deepgram

Get an API key from the MeetStream dashboard.

Authentication

Every command authenticates with Authorization: Token <your-key> — the API key is the credential, there is no separate CLI login.

Every command supports --json for scripting, which also makes the CLI directly usable by coding agents.

bot create exposes the full create-bot surface as flags: transcription provider (-t deepgram | assemblyai | sarvam | meetstream | ...), webhooks (-c), scheduled joins (--join-at), per-participant streams (--separate-audio / --separate-video), live WebSocket streaming (--live-audio-ws, --socket-ws), MIA agents, idempotency keys, and leave-timeout tuning. Run meetstream bot create --help for the complete list.
