• Find Read AI → Click Uninstall
• On the Read.ai website:

1. Go to https://app.read.ai
2. Log in with the same Microsoft/Google account used for Teams
3. Go to Account Settings → Meeting Assistant

4. Extra Security Recommendations

To prevent any unauthorized bots or apps from joining meetings:

• In Teams Admin Center → Meetings → Meeting settings:
• Set “Who can bypass the lobby?” → “People in my organization” or “Only organizers”
• Disable external app interaction:
• Under Meetings → Meeting settings, turn OFF:
  > “Anonymous users can interact with apps in meetings”

🔐 These settings help block third-party bots (like Read.ai) from auto-joining or interacting in meetings.
