How to stop Spinach joining your meetings

Spinach joins from a connected calendar, or because its email address was put on the invite — and then only the meeting's owner can take it off.

How it got into your call

If it is yours: stop it joining

  1. In Spinach open Schedule, then Auto Record, and choose Remove from all meetings.
  2. If it was added to the invite as a guest, the meeting's owner removes it from the calendar event. Spinach says only meeting owners can remove guests.
  3. For a meeting that repeats, the owner chooses this and following events when removing it.

Get it out of a call that is running

  1. Spinach's page on removing it does not describe a way to make it leave a call that is running.
  2. The host of the call can remove it from the list of people, as with any guest.

What it keeps

Spinach's page on removing it does not say what happens to notes it has already taken. Ask the person whose Spinach it is.

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.
