Notetaker

How to stop tl;dv joining your meetings

tl;dv joins from its user's calendar, and taking its browser extension or desktop app off a computer does not stop it.

How it got into your call

If it is yours: stop it joining

  1. Sign in to tl;dv and open the preferences page, under personal settings.
  2. Switch automatic recording off there.
  3. Leave the extension alone or remove it, as you like. Only the setting above stops it joining.

Get it out of a call that is running

  1. If it is asking to come in, the host refuses it at the door.
  2. If it is already in, the host removes it from the list of people, the same way as a person.

What it keeps

tl;dv's page on stopping it covers deleting a whole account, and says that when an account is deleted all of its data goes and no logs are kept. For a single recording, ask the person whose account 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.
