Controlling MeetGeek During the Call

Control the MeetGeek Notetaker during a call — stop recording on Zoom, Google Meet, or Teams, pause and resume, and manage permissions for past meetings.

Written by Dan Huru

You can control the MeetGeek Notetaker during a live meeting — record the whole conversation, stop recording partway through, or pause and resume to leave certain parts off the record. Here's how.

In this guide:


Stop MeetGeek from recording

Sometimes you need to stop recording a meeting that's already started. There are a few ways to do it.

Remove MeetGeek from a Zoom meeting room

  1. In the bottom menu of your Zoom room, click the Participants tab.

  2. Find {Your name} MeetGeek Notetaker (or your Notetaker's custom name) and click More.

  3. Click Remove.

Remove MeetGeek from a Google Meet meeting room

  1. Click the three-dots icon on your MeetGeek Notetaker's name.

  2. Select Remove from the call.

Remove MeetGeek from a Microsoft Teams meeting room

  1. In the meeting room, click the Participants tab.

  2. Click {Your name} MeetGeek Notetaker (or its custom name) and choose Remove from the dropdown.

Remove MeetGeek when you're not the host

If you're not the host but you're using MeetGeek to record, you can stop recording from your MeetGeek account.

  1. Go to Upcoming Meetings in your account.

  2. Find your live meeting at the top of the list and click Pause next to it.

  3. The Notetaker immediately leaves the meeting room and stops recording.

Tip: The MeetGeek Chrome Extension makes recording and pausing even easier. See the Chrome Extension Quickstart Guide.


Pause and resume the recording

If you'd rather not remove MeetGeek entirely but need to exclude part of the conversation, use Pause to stop recording temporarily and resume later.

To pause, go to your Upcoming Meetings page, find your live meeting at the top of the list, and click Pause next to it.

To resume, invite [email protected] back into the meeting, as shown below for a Google Meet event.

Alternatively, go to your Upcoming Meetings page and click Record next to the meeting name.

Merging multiple recordings

If you pause and record multiple times in the same meeting, MeetGeek merges the recordings and associates them with one single meeting for you.


Manage permissions for past meetings

For meetings that have already ended, you can adjust who can view attendees or recording data — useful for people who joined briefly or no longer need access.

  1. Open the meeting in MeetGeek.

  2. Click Share meeting to view and manage access settings.

  3. From there, you can change permissions for specific participants or remove viewers who should no longer have access.

These tools keep you in control of sensitive meeting content and participant access.
