Notetaker

How to stop MeetGeek joining your meetings

MeetGeek joins under its owner's name followed by “MeetGeek Notetaker”, so the list of people usually tells you whose it is.

Shows up as its owner's name, then “MeetGeek Notetaker” Read on 9 November 2026

How it got into your call

If it is yours: stop it joining

  1. Its owner opens Upcoming Meetings in MeetGeek and presses Pause beside the meeting. It leaves, and stops recording.
  2. To bring it back, they press Record in the same place.

Get it out of a call that is running

  1. The host removes it from the list of people: Participants → More → Remove in Zoom; the three dots beside its name → Remove from the call in Google Meet; Participants → the notetaker → Remove in Teams.
  2. Its owner does not have to be the host: Pause beside the live meeting, on MeetGeek's Upcoming Meetings page, makes it leave.

What it keeps

If it is paused and started again, MeetGeek joins the pieces into one recording. Its page does not say what happens to the part already recorded when it is removed.

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.
