In this article, let us see how to set Fireflies to join only the meetings you want it to join.
Why Fireflies joins my meetings uninvited?
Here are a few reasons why this happens:
1. Your Autojoin Settings
- Most likely your Autojoin Settings is configured to Join all calendar events that have a meeting or Join all calendar events that I own.
- If you've configured join all calendar events - Fireflies will automatically join all meetings where you are a host or participant
- If you've configured join calendar events that I own - Fireflies joins all meetings where you're the host
Solution: You need to change the autojoin settings to Join calendar events only when I invite fred@fireflies.ai . Now, Fireflies will only join when you invite it to your meetings.

2. Other Participants Are Using Fireflies
- If you haven't signed up for an account but Fireflies.ai Notetaker attended your meeting, it means one (or more) of the participants are using Fireflies.
- This is also the case if you receive meeting recaps unexpectedly.
Solution: You can kick Fireflies out of the meeting at any time just like any participant.
