# Manually Invite Momentum Recording Bot to External Meetings

## Overview

Some organizations restrict blanket recording of externally hosted calls due to privacy or consent policies. As a result, users may not have an AI seat assigned for customer-hosted calls.
To address this, Momentum supports <b>manual invitation</b> of the recording bot to external meetings, bypassing the usual AI license checks.

## How It Works

* **Admin Control:**\
  In the Momentum AI Settings page, admins can toggle the <b>Manually Invite Momentum Recording Bot</b> setting.
* **User Experience:**\
  When enabled, users see an Invite button in the Call Library, allowing them to manually invite the Momentum bot to an ongoing external meeting.
* **License Bypass:**\
  If the setting is enabled, users can invite the bot even if they do not have an AI license for externally hosted meetings.

**Admin Setup**

PREREQUISITE : You must be at least an Organization Admin to have access to this setting.
