How it got into your call
- An Avoma user's calendar is connected, and this meeting is set to be recorded.
- It comes in as a participant, the same way a guest does.
If it is yours: stop it joining
- In Avoma open Upcoming Meetings, choose the meeting, click its recording label and switch recording off for that meeting.
- Avoma's page describes this one meeting at a time. It does not give a single switch for every meeting.
Get it out of a call that is running
- The host finds Avoma Assistant in the list of people and chooses Remove. It goes at once.
- Its owner opens the meeting in Avoma, clicks Recording Now, then Stop Recording Now. It leaves within ten seconds.
- With Avoma's browser extension, its owner can press Stop Recording, or Pause and Resume.
What it keeps
Avoma's page says the recording stops, and does not say whether the part already recorded is kept. Ask the person who sent it.

A meeting with nothing to remove
On Meetful the notes are written by the meeting itself, from each person's own microphone, so no extra guest joins. Anybody can leave themselves out of the notes and stay in the call.
