FAQ

How can I hide or completely remove the Tactiq widget?

There are two options depending on what you want to do:

If you simply want the widget out of the way:
You can minimize the Tactiq widget during your meeting. Tactiq will continue transcribing while the widget is minimized, unless you choose to pause or stop the transcription.

If you don’t want the Tactiq widget to appear at all:
You can uninstall the Tactiq browser extension and reload your meeting page. This completely removes the widget from your browser meetings.

Important: Once you uninstall the Tactiq extension, Tactiq will no longer transcribe your browser meetings. If you want to use Tactiq again later, you’ll need to reinstall the extension.
