Before you start
- Windows 10 (version 2004 or later) or Windows 11, 64-bit.
- macOS 13 Ventura or later, on Apple Silicon or Intel. One download works for both.
- A microphone, and internet during the interview.
Windows
- 1

On the download page, click Download for Windows.

Mac

Choose Google, Apple or your email.

Turn on the permissions
On Setup permissions, click Grant Access on each row: Microphone Access, Screen & System Audio Recording and, on macOS 14 and later, System Audio Recording Only. Turn on the MeetAssist toggle in System Settings when it opens, then click Restart to continue.
Tip
The permissions let MeetAssist hear you and the interviewer. It doesn’t record your screen. Without Screen & System Audio Recording, it only hears your microphone.
Where is it?
MeetAssist floats over your other windows and has no icon in the Dock, taskbar or menu bar. If you can’t see it, press Cmd/Ctrl + Shift + M, or open it again from Applications or the Start menu. It appears on the screen your mouse is on.
Updates
The app checks for updates on its own and downloads them in the background. When one is ready, Update to v… appears under your account on the setup screen; otherwise it installs the next time you quit. It never updates during an interview.
