How to turn off Zoom meeting summary

Zoom's own summary is not a guest in the call. It is a setting on the host's account, and it can be set to start by itself in every meeting they host.

How it got into your call

Turn it off

  1. For yourself: Zoom Settings → Zoom AI → under Meeting, switch Meeting summary with AI off, or untick Auto-start when meetings start.
  2. For a whole company: Admin Center → Settings → Zoom AI → under Meeting, the same switch. An admin can lock it so nobody turns it back on.
  3. For one team: Admin Center → Users → Groups → the group → Edit product settings → Zoom AI.

Stop it in a call that is running

  1. There is nobody to remove, because it is part of the meeting. Only the host, or an admin in the call, can stop it.
  2. If you are a guest, ask the host to stop the summary. Leaving the call is the only thing a guest can do alone.

What it keeps

The summary belongs to the host's Zoom account. A guest cannot see where it was sent or delete it; that is a request to the host.

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.
