Why do I see chat message popups from Bubbles in meetings?

These messages notify everyone that Bubbles is recording and transcribing the meeting, and give participants a way to remove the bot if they don’t want to be recorded.

First, a quick heads-up

  • Compliance requirement – Recording notifications is required in most regions.

  • Sent to all participants – Not just the organizer.

  • Includes removal link – Anyone can remove the bot instantly.

  • Can be disabled on Pro – Basic plans, always show the notification. On Pro, admins can adjust or disable in-meeting messages from Settings > Notetaker.

When you’ll see them

  • Bubbles sends a one-time message when:

    • The Notetaker joins automatically or via Paste a link.

    • The meeting has started (within ~1 min of joining).

    • A valid meeting link is detected (Zoom, Teams, Google Meet etc.).

  • The message will:

    • State that the meeting is being recorded for a specific organizer.

    • Include a clickable link to remove Bubbles.

What to do

  • If you’re a participant:

    • Ignore the message (recording continues).

    • Click the link to remove Bubbles and stop recording.

    • Ask the organizer for details.

  • If you’re the organizer:

    • Please let people know ahead of time in the meeting invitation.

    • For regular team calls, establish a “recording is standard” policy.

Good to know

  • Messages appear in your meeting platform’s chat (Zoom DM, Teams private chat, Google Meet public chat).

  • Anyone in the meeting can use the removal link.

  • The bot waits up to 20 minutes for someone to join before starting recording.

Still stuck?

  • If the popups seem incorrect, appear multiple times, or you think they’re missing key info, contact [email protected] with:

    • Your plan type (Basic, Pro)

    • Meeting platform (Zoom, Teams, Google Meet, etc.)

    • Screenshot of the chat message (ideally)

    • Date/time and link of the meeting where it happened

    • Whether Bubbles was added automatically or via Paste a link

  • This helps support can reproduce and fix the issue without delay.
