Symptoms

The tl;dv bot keeps asking to join calls you didn't want recorded, sometimes in other people's meetings, even after removing the Chrome extension or desktop app.

Why it happens

  • C-01Auto-record is on for all calendar events
  • C-02The bot is invited from the connected calendar, not from the extension
  • C-03A colleague's tl;dv account is recording the same meeting
