How to Access and Analyze Meeting Recordings Across Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, and Other Platforms with a Unified API

November 3, 2025

As more SaaS products embed AI summaries, coaching tools, and searchable meeting archives, integrating with multiple conferencing and calendar platforms becomes a bottleneck. Every vendor—Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Webex, and others—has different APIs for recordings, transcripts, and events.

A unified API removes that complexity. Unified.to lets you list meetings, fetch recordings and transcripts, and generate AI summaries through a single normalized API. No per-vendor parsing, no auth maintenance, and no custom data mapping required.

When to Use Meeting Recordings & Transcript Analysis

With a unified API, you can:

Auto-summarize meetings with decisions, action items, and owners
Coach sales or support calls by extracting topics, objections, and next steps
Power searchable knowledge bases with transcripts and highlights
Flag compliance risks, sentiment, and call-quality issues

Normalized Meeting Objects

Unified.to provides consistent schemas across meeting, recording, and transcript data:

Object	Description	Key Fields
calendar_event	Meeting metadata	`id`, `title`, `start_at`, `end_at`, `attendees[]`, `conference (provider, join_url)`, `organizer`
calendar_recording	Recording and transcript for an event	`id`, `event_id`, `provider`, `duration_seconds`, `media[] (type, download_url, mime_type, transcript)`, `language`, `created_at`
webhook	Real-time event and recording changes	`object_type`, `event`, `type (NATIVE/VIRTUAL)`, `sig`, `nonce`
genai_prompt	AI summarization or extraction request	`model_id`, `messages`, `temperature`, `max_tokens`, `responses`, `tokens_used`

These schemas make it simple to work with multiple providers while keeping all metadata—recordings, transcripts, and AI summaries—structured and consistent.

Data Flow for Meeting Recordings & Transcript Analysis

Connect the customer's calendar or conferencing platform via Unified to receive a connection_id.
List calendar_event objects to identify relevant meetings (filter by time range, organizer, or attendees).
Retrieve calendar_recording objects by ID to access recordings and transcripts.
Create a genai_prompt with transcript text to summarize, extract key actions, or classify sentiment and topics.
Deliver summarized results via API, webhook, or database sync—and optionally log insights back into your CRM or helpdesk.

This workflow standardizes recording retrieval and AI processing across every major meeting provider.

Zoom, Google Calendar/Meet, Microsoft Outlook/Teams, Webex, and RingCentral.
