Turn the meeting agent on or off

Choose which meetings Brev's meeting agent (notetaker) joins: a whole cadence, one meeting, or by default.

Last updated Nov 10, 2026

ai
Open in app
A cadence row: attendee avatars, the title with its Upcoming badge, the type chip, recurrence and host, No scores in place of the score sparkline, and the meeting agent switch.

The meeting agent joins your calls to take notes, write the summary and score the meeting. Control it at three levels.

For a whole cadence #

  1. Go to Cadences.
  2. On the cadence's row, flip the meeting agent switch at the far right. A meeting whose host set the agent keeps the host's choice.
Success check
The switch shows the new setting. Hover it to read whether the agent will join the next meeting.

It applies to every upcoming meeting in the cadence. If you turn a cadence off, meetings added to it later start off too.

For one meeting #

  1. Open the meeting.
  2. Click the notetaker pill at the right of the tab row, such as 'Brev’s Notetaker scheduled'.
  3. Flip Schedule notetaker. It shows on upcoming and live meetings. Or flip the meeting's switch in the Meetings panel on the Cadences page.
Success check
The notetaker pill reads 'Brev’s Notetaker scheduled' when the agent will join, and 'Brev’s Notetaker not scheduled' when it won't.

By default #

This sets the starting value for meetings you host. To change it:

  1. Go to Settings → AI & agents → Meeting agent.
  2. Under Auto-join configuration, choose All my meetings, All internal meetings or Opt-in Only.
  3. If the change cancels the agent on meetings it was set to join, Brev asks you to confirm and says how many. Confirm to go ahead.
Settings, Meeting agent: Auto-join configuration with All my meetings, All internal meetings and Opt-in Only, and Customize meetings.
Success check
The option you chose stays selected. When no meeting changes, Brev shows 'Meeting preference updated'.

When the switch is greyed out #

The meeting's host has priority. When the host turns the agent on or off for a meeting, only the host can change it. A note by the switch says so.
