Does Notta join the meeting as a bot?
Only if you pick bot mode. Notta Bot joins Zoom, Google Meet, Teams, and Webex from your calendar and appears in the participant list. Notta Desktop is the bot-free alternative and records your device audio instead. Reline has one mode, local capture, so no participant is ever added.

The details
- Notta presents it as a choice: bot mode when you want meeting video or want a call recorded while you are not there, desktop mode when a visible bot would change how the room talks.
- Notta Desktop records system audio plus your microphone on your own machine, and Notta's page states that no bot joins and no extra name appears in the participant list. The Mac and Windows downloads are labeled beta.
- Because the desktop route is device capture rather than a platform integration, it also covers calls the bot cannot join, such as Slack huddles or Discord.
- Reline is local capture by default, with no bot mode to switch off, and it adds a web app so the note is readable from any browser. Transcription covers 60+ languages and runs in the cloud.
