Notetaker

How to stop Bubbles joining your meetings

Bubbles sends each person in the call a private message with a link. Anybody can use it to remove the notetaker — and to delete what it recorded.

How it got into your call

If it is yours: stop it joining

  1. Log in to Bubbles, open Settings, then Notetaker settings, switch Auto-record meetings off and click Save.
  2. Or leave it on and narrow which meetings it joins, with the choices under the same switch.
  3. Bubbles says a change applies to future meetings only. One that is being recorded now carries on until it is removed.

Get it out of a call that is running

  1. Anybody: open the meeting chat, find the private message from Bubbles Notetaker and click the link in it. It leaves, and you choose what happens to the recording.
  2. The host: remove Bubbles Notetaker from the list of people. In Zoom, untick Report to Zoom first.
  3. The link is not there if the meeting has in-call messages switched off.

What it keeps

Whoever removes it chooses. **Delete recording** removes everything it captured, for good. **Save partial recording** keeps what it has so far and ends the session.

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.
