# Exclusions

## What exclude rules do


Exclude rules let an admin stop the Speak AI Meeting Assistant from joining specific meetings across the whole company. This is useful when you never want the assistant to join a particular organization's calls, or any meeting a certain person schedules.

## Who can set them

Exclude rules are a company-wide setting, so they are managed by team admins who have the Exclude Meetings permission. They live in the Meeting Assistant Global Settings, under **Exclude Meetings**.

## Add an exclude rule

1. Open the Meeting Assistant settings and go to **Global Settings**.
1. Find the **Exclude Meetings** section and click **Add rule**.
1. Choose what the rule matches on: an attendee email (for example scheduling@acme.com), an email domain (for example @acme.com), or a meeting link.
1. Enter the value to match. As you type, a live preview shows how many upcoming meetings the rule would exclude.
1. Each rule has its own toggle, so you can turn a rule on or off without deleting it.

## A note on Google Meet links

Meeting-link rules work well for Zoom. Google Meet links do not identify an organization, so a Google Meet link would only match a single meeting. To exclude a whole company on Google Meet, use an attendee email or email domain rule instead.

## See what was excluded

The **Excluded** tab lists the meetings the assistant skipped and the reason each one was excluded, so you can confirm your rules are doing what you expect.
