Notetaker
How to stop Timeless joining your meetings
Timeless's AI notetaker joins from its user's calendar, and anybody it is bothering can ask the host to remove it like any other guest.

How it got into your call
- A Timeless user has it set to join their virtual meetings by itself.
- It comes in as a participant.
If it is yours: stop it joining
- In Timeless open Preferences, then Virtual Meetings, and choose I'll add it manually.
- From then on it joins only the meetings its user adds it to. The setting can be changed back at any time in the same place.
Get it out of a call that is running
- If you are the host, remove it as a participant, the way you would remove a guest.
- If you are not the host, ask the host to remove it.
- Its owner can also take it out from Timeless: the Spark symbol on the meeting in its calendar view, or Remove from this call in the meeting's space.
What it keeps
Timeless's pages on removing it do not say what happens to the part already recorded. Ask the person who invited it.

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.
Other notetakers
WudpeckerWudpecker's notetaker follows joining rules its user sets. Setting them to None means it never comes unless its user sends it.CirclebackCircleback joins meetings by kind — internal, external, organised by somebody else — and with both of the main kinds switched off it joins nothing by itself.ClaapClaap's recorder joins under its owner's name followed by “Claap Recorder”, and if nobody lets it in from the waiting room, nothing is recorded.CoffeeCoffee's call recorder joins the meetings its user chose, and only the meeting's host can take it out of a call that is running.SybillSybill records sales calls. It can post a chat message saying it is recording, and on Zoom a person who does not consent cannot turn on their camera or microphone.NootaNoota's meeting assistant joins the meetings on its user's calendar until one switch, Join meetings automatically, is set to No.
