Manage the bot in-call

Once a bot is on a call you can watch its status, help it get in, and remove it whenever you like — from the web app or the extension panel.

Bot states

A bot moves through these states, shown next to the meeting:

StateWhat it means
JoiningConnecting to the meeting
In meetingRecording and transcribing
EndedLeft the call; the write-up is being generated

When a bot ends unexpectedly, it shows an end reason so you know what happened (for example, removed by a host or left alone in the call).

Help the bot join

Some meetings hold guests in a lobby. If the bot is waiting:

  1. A host admits the ScribX participant, just like any guest.
  2. The state flips to In meeting and recording begins.
tip

For recurring internal calls, ask a host to admit ScribX automatically so bots never wait in the lobby.

Remove the bot mid-call

You can stop a capture at any time:

  • From the call — a host removes the ScribX participant like any other.
  • From ScribX — open the meeting and click Stop / Remove bot.

Whatever's been captured up to that point is still processed into a note.

Access to the recording

The person who starts the capture is the owner of the resulting recording. Teammates may need to be granted access — see Share recordings and Teams & roles.

When a bot won't join

If a bot can't get in — bad link, denied entry, or a platform restriction — you'll see the reason on the meeting. Common fixes are in Troubleshooting, or capture in-browser as a fallback.
