How it got into your call

If it is yours: stop it joining

  1. Its user switches off Record my meetings under AI Notes → Settings, or switches it off for one meeting.
  2. meetergo announces a recorded meeting in advance — on the booking page, in confirmation emails and in the calendar invitation — so you may know before the call.

Get it out of a call that is running

  1. Type /stop in the meeting chat. Anybody can, not just the host. The notetaker confirms, leaves, and recording cannot be turned back on for that meeting.
  2. The host can also remove it from the list of people, like any guest.
  3. In a meetergo Connect call there is no participant: everybody sees a red Recording indicator and has to agree to be recorded or leave.

What it keeps

What was recorded before /stop is kept, in its user's meetergo account. Its user can later trim passages somebody asked to have removed; trimming deletes them for good.
