Remove Fireflies from a Google Meet meeting

Remove it from a Google Meet call now

1. In Meet: open the participant list, click ⋮ next to Fireflies, and select Remove from the call.
2. Or type /ff leave in the chat.

If you are not the host

1. Before the meeting, the organiser can simply take fred@fireflies.ai off the Google Calendar invite — that is how a Fireflies user invites it by hand.
2. Removed within three minutes, it leaves no transcript.

What you will see on Google Meet

• On Google Meet the notetaker arrives as a guest who asked to join, unless the meeting lets everyone in. Whoever admits guests can simply leave it waiting.
• Once it is in, look for it under People. The three-dot menu beside it shows Remove from the call to the host and co-hosts; Meet then offers to block it from coming back.
• If you type the chat command instead, use the meeting's own chat panel, not a direct message to one person.

On Google Meet in particular

When somebody added Fireflies by hand, its address — fred@fireflies.ai — sits on the calendar invite’s guest list, so the event is the place to look before the call.

Keep it out of the next Google Meet meeting

A guest who has to ask to join can be refused at the door. Once a notetaker is in, the host or a co-host removes it from the people list — and is offered the choice to block it from coming back.

To stop it being sent at all, its owner changes Fireflies's own settings — how to stop Fireflies joining.

A meeting with nothing to remove

Meetful writes the notes from each person's own microphone inside the meeting, so no bot joins and there is no participant to take out. Anybody can leave themselves out of the notes and stay in the call.
