Notetaker
How to stop Dover AI Notetaker joining your meetings
Dover's notetaker records job interviews for the hiring company. It joins as “Dover Notetaker” and needs the host to let it in — except on an open Google Meet, where it walks straight in.
Shows up as Dover Notetaker

How it got into your call
- The company interviewing you uses Dover, a recruiting tool, with its AI Notetaker on. It joins the interview to record it, transcribe it and fill in the interviewer's feedback form.
- It cannot get in without the host admitting it. The exception is a Google Meet set to open, which it joins without waiting.
Before the interview: say no
- Dover tells interviewers to let candidates know the interview will be recorded before they admit it. If you are told and would rather not be recorded, say so then.
- For interviews it should not be in, the interviewer can simply deny it entry.
Get it out of a call that is running
- The host can refuse to admit Dover Notetaker, or remove it from the meeting at any time.
- On an open Google Meet it may already be inside; ask the interviewer to remove it if you do not agree.
What it keeps
Once the interview is processed, the transcript and notes go to the hiring company's Dover account and the interviewer is emailed.

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.
