# Prevent or Stop a Recording

Learn how to prevent recordings, stop active recordings, and control Outdoo AI's recording behavior using privacy settings, waiting rooms, and native platform features.

### Prevent a call from being recorded

Outdoo AI automatically records calls that meet your company's recording criteria by joining as a participant. Unless native recording is used, the Outdoo AI notetaker appears in the meeting's attendee list.

To stop a scheduled recording, go to **Home**, find the meeting under **Meetings for today**, and turn off its **Record** toggle.

### Keep your meetings private

To make your recorded meetings private, turn on **Keep my meetings private** in **My Settings > Notetaker controls**. If you're changing a call to private after it's scheduled, do it at least 2 hours in advance. Admins can also mark an individual upcoming meeting private with the **Private** toggle under **Meetings for today** on the Home page.

Calls in Outdoo AI are public by default. After a call is recorded, its owner (with the right permissions) can change its visibility. See [Set a call as private](https://help.outdoo.ai/en/article/set-a-call-as-private).

### Deny entry to the Outdoo AI notetaker

Use your web conferencing tool's waiting room to keep the Outdoo AI notetaker out of the meeting.

### Prevent telephony recordings

If your company has a telephony integration, Outdoo AI imports all recorded calls. To avoid recording a specific call, use a phone system that isn't connected to Outdoo AI, or (less commonly) disconnect the integration temporarily for your company.

### Stop recording during a call

Remove the Outdoo AI notetaker from the meeting. The host can do this in the web conferencing tool; refer to your provider's instructions.

In Zoom:

-   Switch to Gallery View in the meeting.

-   Find the Outdoo AI notetaker participant.

-   Click the ellipsis (⋯), select **Remove**, clear the **Report to Zoom** checkbox, and confirm.

If your company uses native Zoom recording, the meeting host can stop or pause the recording with Zoom's own controls, and restart it there.

### Delete a recording after the call ends

If a recording wasn't stopped during the call, you can delete it from Outdoo AI afterwards. Deleting calls needs a permission profile that allows it. To keep the recording but limit who can see it, mark it as private instead.
