How to stop Modjo joining your meetings
Modjo's recorder joins Google Meet and Teams calls as “Modjo Assistant” whenever anybody invited has a Modjo licence — and once it is in, only the meeting's organiser can remove it.
Shows up as Modjo Assistant (the company can rename it)

How it got into your call
- Somebody invited uses Modjo, a sales-call recorder. By default it joins every meeting with an outside participant where at least one person invited has a Modjo licence, even if the organiser does not.
- It works on Google Meet and Microsoft Teams. It does not join meetings with nobody from outside the company. A Modjo user can also call it into a meeting by hand.
If it is yours: stop it joining
- For one meeting, its user opens the Modjo calendar, picks the meeting and chooses Cancel scheduled recording.
- To stop it joining by itself, a Modjo manager or admin goes to Settings → Integrations → Google Meet or Microsoft Teams → Options and sets automatic participation to Never record automatically, or to join only when a licensed user organised the meeting.
Get it out of a call that is running
- When it tries to join, a message says it is there to record. Decline it and it leaves without recording; if nobody admits it within ten minutes it leaves by itself.
- Once it is in, Modjo says only the meeting's organiser can remove it — remove Modjo Assistant from the list of people. A removed bot does not come back by itself.
- During the call it shows the message “[first name] is recording this call for note-taking purposes”.
What it keeps
The recording reaches its user's Modjo account within about ten minutes of the end. How long it is kept is set by the company's admin; with no retention rule, Modjo keeps recordings indefinitely.

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.
