How can I block Zoom's Note-taking pop-up?

Where have you looked ​@WardClark ?

It seems more like an Apple Setting than a Zoom setting where you need to look. The screenshot seems to show like you are making the call from the Mac, or at least controlling the iPhone from the Mac so I would look there if you haven't yet.

• Calling/Controlling a call from another Device (apple setting).
• Making Zoom Notes the default Notes application (apple setting ?)

I am also tired of this pop-up on my Windows PC.  It is very hard to manage the Zoom interface when changes like this conspire to slow us down.

​@WardClark ​@Jason Farrell ​@G Eric Moorhouse I see the same pop-up on my Windows 11 computer.

I’ve gone into my Zoom's Portal and turned off the following individual settings related to notes.

https://zoom.us > Personal > Settings > Notes > General > Enable my Notes:   Disabling this disables all Note related icons and pop-ups in my Zoom meetings.

Posted on April 20th, 2026. On Windows 11 and my business account. Zoom Version 7.0.2 (34412).

With an assist from earlier comments & Claude, I was able to disable the Zoom Notes pop-up in my Basic account on macOS Safari:

https://www.zoom.com/ > Sign In >  left navigation menu > My Account > Settings > Notes (top tab bar) > General > Enable My notes

I think this will work.  I haven’t tested it yet, but it makes sense.  Disable all of these:

To block the pop up: 

Go to Zoom Home > Settings (make sure it's the icon on the far left in the gray margin at the bottom) > Notifications & sounds > scroll down a screen or two to find  “Reminders to open My notes in these apps (_) > Manage. Turn off for Face Time and What’s App and anything else you don’t want the pop-up to appear on.

When you get to Notifications & sounds, there are several categories, starting with Volume, then Ringtones, etc. Scroll down to get to “Send desktop notifications for:”.  The options there include “Upcoming meetings,” “Automatically detect voice activity to create My Notes,” and then “Reminders to open My notes in these apps.”   Beside the “Reminders to open My notes in the apps (_)” is a button for “Manage”. Click on Manage, and you get a list including Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Chrome, WebEx Discord, Slack, WhatsApp, FaceTime, Safari, Microsoft Edge, and Firefox. I toggled Off for FaceTime. Then made a call on my Mac, and voila! No notes pop-up. Yay!! 

I finally figured this out (for Windows PC). You have to go to settings > notification & sounds … scroll to the “Send desktop notifications for” section and toggle off “automatically detect voice activity to create My Notes”

Also make sure that under Meetings & webinars > When Joining meetings and webinars - that the “auto-start my notes” is toggled off. 

Feedback for the Zoom Team as a business owner, this is completely unacceptable and a security concern, that your note taking feature opens for other unrelated apps such as MS Teams or mac calling etc. and so difficult to secure and disable. As a company I set up security policy blocking all installations of this application and will only use the web version for exception for other clients that still use this high security risk software. I have also set up security profile to block installation of the phone app as well.
