[FAQs](https://help.avoma.com/faqs?hsLang=en) # How to remove the Avoma Notetaker or stop and pause meeting recordings in Avoma ## How to stop recording an in-progress meeting If you are in a meeting and decide it should not be recorded, Avoma offers multiple easy ways to stop or pause the recording—even while the meeting is still in progress. #### **1. Stop recording directly from Avoma** When the Avoma Assistant is recording, the meeting status in your Avoma dashboard shows **“Recording Now.”** To stop recording: 1. Open the ongoing meeting in your Avoma dashboard. 2. Click the **“Recording Now”** status label. 3. Select **Stop Recording Now**. 4. The bot will leave the meeting within 10 seconds, and the recording will stop immediately. ![How to Remove Avoma Notetaker (Bot) from a Meeting Screen #01](https://help.avoma.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Help%20Articles/How%20to%20Remove%20Avoma%20Notetaker%20(Bot)%20from%20a%20Meeting%20Screen%20%2301.png?width=670&height=377&name=How%20to%20Remove%20Avoma%20Notetaker%20(Bot)%20from%20a%20Meeting%20Screen%20%2301.png) #### **2.

Use the Avoma browser extension to stop, pause, or resume recording** If you use the Avoma browser extension, you can control the recording at any time without going back to the dashboard: - Click **Stop Recording** in the extension popup to end the recording right away. - Use **Pause** if you want to temporarily hide part of the meeting from being recorded, and **Resume** to continue recording afterward. - These controls give you full flexibility to decide what is captured. ![Gmeet-GIF-comp-16](https://help.avoma.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Product%20Newsletter%20Asset/July/Gmeet-GIF-comp-16.gif?width=669&height=500&name=Gmeet-GIF-comp-16.gif)   **Download Avoma Extension** [**here**](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/avoma/llppmekagejbkddkfaccppnjgipglgne?utm_source=item-share-cb&pli=1) #### **4.

Select the scheduled meeting in the **Upcoming Meetings** view. 2. Click **Recording via \[Your Conference Tool\]**. 3. Choose **Disable Cloud Recording** (or similar option). 4. Confirm your choice to prevent recording for that meeting.
