## 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 **manual invitation** 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 **Manually Invite Momentum Recording Bot** 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.
