  2. For all your meetings: Settings → Notetaker, and switch it off.
  3. For a whole company, an owner or admin opens Settings → Notetaker → Access, chooses No one, then Save changes.

Get it out of a call that is running

  1. Type /stop in the meeting chat. Calendly says it will leave and stop recording right away.
  2. In Zoom, the host clicks the three dots on Notetaker's window and chooses Remove. Calendly says to untick Report to Zoom first.

What it keeps

Calendly's page says it stops recording right away. It does not say whether the part already recorded is kept.
