How it got into your call

If it is yours: stop it joining

  1. For yourself: in Zoom go to Profile → Settings → the Zoom AI tab → Meeting, and switch Allow Zoom AI to join third-party meetings off.
  2. For a whole company: Admin Center → Settings → Zoom AI → Meetings, the same switch. An admin can lock it so nobody turns it back on.
  3. For one group of people: Admin Center → Users → Groups, choose the group, Edit product settings, then the Zoom AI tab → Meeting.
  4. Zoom lists the plans it comes with as Zoom Workplace Pro, Pro Plus, Business, Business Plus, Enterprise and Education. On a free Zoom account it is not there to switch off.

Get it out of a call that is running

  1. Zoom's page does not say how to take it out of a call that is running.
  2. It is in the call as a participant, so the host of the Google Meet or Teams call can remove it the way any guest is removed: in Google Meet from People, in Teams from Participants.
  3. If you are not the host, ask the host — or ask the person who sent it, whose Zoom account it works for.

What it keeps

It is there to make a transcript and a summary for the Zoom user who invited it. Zoom's page does not say what is kept if it is removed part-way through.

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

Microsoft Teams CopilotCopilot in a Teams meeting is not a guest. The organiser chooses whether it runs, and switching it off also switches off recording and transcription.SemblySembly joins the meetings on a connected calendar. One switch a meeting keeps it out, and it tells the chat when it stops recording.SpinachSpinach 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.SupernormalSupernormal joins every meeting on its user's calendar unless they narrow it — to the meetings they created, or to none.Calendly NotetakerCalendly's Notetaker leaves, and stops recording, the moment somebody types /stop in the meeting chat.BubblesBubbles sends each person in the call a private message with a link. Anybody can use it to remove the notetaker — and to delete what it recorded.
