Recorder on somebody’s computer

Bluedot records from a browser extension — or sends a bot. What to do if it is in your call

Bluedot can record a call from its user's Chrome extension or desktop app, with nothing in the call, or send a bot called “[name]'s AI NoteTaker”. Whether you are told about the extension is up to the person using it.

Usually not in the list of people — its bot shows up as [owner's name]'s AI NoteTaker, when it sends its bot Read on 10 November 2026

How it hears the call

If it is yours: stop it recording

  1. Its owner turns off auto-recording in the extension's settings or the desktop app.
  2. For the bot, its owner chooses which meetings it joins in Automation → Meeting Bot, or switches off Record all your meetings.
  3. When it records from the extension, Bluedot can post a notice to the others. Its user can turn that off; a workspace owner can force a consent message into the chat for everybody instead.

If somebody else in the call is using it

  1. If [name]'s AI NoteTaker is waiting to be admitted, the host can simply not let it in. If it is already in, the host can remove it from the list of people.
  2. If it is recording from somebody's extension, there is nothing on screen to remove, and the notice may be switched off. Ask at the start whether anybody is recording, and ask them to stop if you do not agree to it.
  3. Bluedot itself recommends telling people before recording, even with the notice switched off.

What it keeps

Recordings and transcripts go to the owner's Bluedot account, where they can be downloaded or deleted.
