To turn off the automated chat notification, go to your Tactiq account settings and set the Transcription Notification option to Disabled.


​Turn off the automatic chat message

When Tactiq transcribes a meeting, it can post a short message in the meeting chat to let attendees know. You can control this with the Transcription Notification setting.

To turn off the chat message

  • Open Settings → General in Tactiq.

  • Scroll to Transcription Notification.

  • Then change the setting from Always notify that the transcription is active to Disabled

How to turn off automatic chat message

💡 Note: On the Free plan, this message is always sent and can’t be turned off. The setting shows an Upgrade button. To control it, upgrade to a Pro plan or above.

Choose whether to notify participants each time

If you want to decide case-by-case whether to notify people in the meeting:

  • In Transcription Notification, choose Default Prompt or Always Prompt

  • When the meeting starts, a small window will appear (visible only to you)

  • Choose Yes, This Time to notify participants or Not This Time to skip it

💡 Note: If no option is selected before the timer ends, the system will send a default notification:

  • Default Prompt will default to notifying everyone in all future meetings

  • Always Prompt will only send the notification for the current meeting

What the notification looks like

Tactiq’s default message says:
​
“Hi everyone, this is an automated message to let you know my Tactiq extension is transcribing this meeting for me so I can give my full attention to you.”
​

You can prevent this message by adjusting your settings as described above.

FAQ

Why do I see a message from Tactiq in the meeting chat? Can I disable it?

When Tactiq starts transcribing a meeting, it sends a notification in the chat to let participants know that transcription is active. This is designed to support transparency, so everyone in the meeting is aware that the conversation is being captured.

If you prefer not to show this notification, you can disable it in your settings by going to: https://app.tactiq.io/#/settings/general. Then look for Transcription notification and click Disabled. Please note that this option is available on Pro and Team plans.
