How to remove Sally AI from a meeting

You can remove Sally from a running meeting at any time.

There are two ways to do it:

  • Kick Sally from the meeting → She still writes a summary of everything up to that point.
  • Remove Sally via “opt out” → Everything recorded so far is deleted for good and no summary is created.

If you would rather keep Sally out from the start, you can also remove her from a single appointment or from a whole recurring series in advance.

1. How to kick Sally from a meeting​

Please note

The example below shows how to remove Sally in Microsoft Teams. It works the same way in Google Meet, Zoom and Webex: open the participant list, select Sally and remove her from the meeting.

How it works:

  1. Open the “People” panel in the meeting.
  2. Locate sally.io in the participant list.
  3. Click the three dots next to Sally.
  4. Select “Remove from meeting.”

Remove Sally via the participant list

Once Sally has been removed:

  • The recording stops.
  • Sally writes a summary of everything up to that point.
  • The meeting continues normally without Sally.

2. How to opt out and permanently delete recorded data​

Use the opt-out function when you want no summary at all and every recording permanently deleted. That is the right choice when confidential topics come up and nothing should be documented.

How it works:

  1. Open the meeting chat.
  2. Type Opt out
  3. Send the message.
Type opt out in the meeting chat
Use “opt out” to remove Sally and delete data
What happens next?
  • Sally immediately leaves the meeting.
  • No summary is generated.
  • All recorded data up to that point is permanently deleted.
  • There is no way to get the data back.

3. How to remove Sally from a recurring series​

Sally is invited to a whole series and you do not want her there? You do not have to touch every single occurrence. One step removes her from the complete series.

How it works:

  1. Open Appointments in Sally.
  2. Click one of the upcoming appointments in the series.
  3. In the appointment window, click the attendance chip Will attend.
  4. Select Remove from entire series.
Will attend menu with the option Remove from the entire series
Remove Sally from the whole series via the attendance chip

Sally then stays away from every appointment in that series.

Works for other people's meetings too

This also works when you did not create the appointment yourself. You do not have to cancel the meeting and you need no permissions on the organizer's calendar.

Only one appointment?

For a single appointment, Remove Sally from appointment in the same place is enough. If the meeting is already running, the participant list or “Opt out” in the chat will also do the job.
