How do I stop AI notetakers from joining my meetings?
There's no single switch, since the bot belongs to whoever invited it. In general: ask attendees to disable calendar auto-join, use host controls to limit who can join, enable a waiting room to screen out unknown bots, and set a team policy — or simply use a bot-free tool that never sends a participant.

The details
- The bot is usually tied to a participant's calendar integration, so start by asking attendees to turn off auto-join in tools like Otter, Read AI, and Fireflies.
- On Zoom, Google Meet, and Teams, use host controls — waiting rooms, admit-only, and disabling third-party apps — to screen out uninvited notetaker bots.
- For recurring meetings, a written team norm about notetakers is often more reliable than per-meeting policing.
- The cleanest fix is capturing your own side bot-free: Reline records mic and system audio locally on your device, so no bot ever enters the call to begin with.
