Fireflies.ai is a popular AI note-taking tool that integrates with Microsoft Teams to transcribe meetings and provide summaries. While it is useful for many, some users may find it unnecessary or intrusive and wish to remove it permanently. Whether you no longer need the tool or want to reduce clutter within your Teams workspace, removing Fireflies.ai is a straightforward process. This guide will walk you through the steps to permanently uninstall Fireflies.ai from Microsoft Teams.
Removing Fireflies.ai from the Microsoft Teams App
To permanently remove Fireflies.ai from Microsoft Teams, you can uninstall it directly from the Teams app. Microsoft Teams allows you to manage all integrated apps, including third-party tools like Fireflies.ai, through its settings.
Start by opening the Microsoft Teams application on your desktop or browser. On the left sidebar, click the “Apps” option to view all installed applications. Locate Fireflies.ai from the list of apps, either by scrolling through or using the search bar to find it quickly. Once you locate Fireflies.ai, click on it to open the app details page.
In the app details window, select the “Uninstall” button. Teams will prompt you to confirm the removal of Fireflies.ai. Confirm your choice, and Microsoft Teams will uninstall the application, removing it from your workspace. After uninstalling, the app will no longer have access to your Teams environment.
Disconnecting Fireflies.ai from Your Microsoft Teams Account
Uninstalling Fireflies.ai from the Teams app may not fully disconnect its integration with your Microsoft account. To ensure Fireflies.ai no longer has access, you need to remove its permissions from your Microsoft Teams account settings.
Visit the Microsoft Azure Portal, which manages app permissions and integrations across Microsoft services. Log in to your Microsoft account associated with Teams. Navigate to the “Azure Active Directory” section and click on “Enterprise Applications.” This section shows all third-party apps that have been granted permissions to your account.
Search for Fireflies.ai in the list of enterprise applications. Once you find it, click on the app to open its settings. Under the “Properties” or “Manage” section, you will find the option to delete or remove the app. Confirm the removal to disconnect Fireflies.ai completely from your Microsoft account. This step ensures Fireflies.ai no longer has permission to access your meetings or other data in Teams.
Revoke Fireflies.ai Access to Microsoft Teams Meetings
In some cases, Fireflies.ai may still have lingering access to your calendar and scheduled meetings. To revoke this access, you need to check your connected apps within Microsoft Teams or your Outlook calendar settings.
Go to Outlook on the Web or your Teams calendar, and navigate to “Connected Apps” or “Integrations.” Here, you can view all third-party apps that have access to your calendar or meetings. Find Fireflies.ai and select “Remove Access” or “Revoke Permissions.” This step ensures that Fireflies.ai will no longer access or transcribe your meetings.
Permanently removing Fireflies.ai from Microsoft Teams involves uninstalling the app, disconnecting it from your Microsoft account, and revoking any permissions to your calendar or meetings. By following these steps, you can ensure the tool is fully removed and no longer has access to your Teams environment. This process not only helps streamline your workspace but also ensures that your data remains secure and accessible only to tools you actively use. If you ever decide to use Fireflies.ai again, you can easily reinstall it from the Microsoft Teams app store.
