Otter.ai: Record and transcribe meetings Extension

[Notice - November 2024]

Due to recent changes in Chrome, the Otter.ai Chrome extension currently is unable to record Google Meet meetings directly in the browser. Our team is working on a fix.

You can still record Google Meet meetings using:
1. OtterPilot Notetaker – Send the notetaker to your meeting via the web or mobile app.

2. Otter Web or Mobile App – Start recording via the app (note: recording won’t work with headphones).

------
Otter leverages its proprietary AI to write meeting notes in real time and share them with everyone so they can collaborate during meetings. When connected to your Microsoft Outlook or Google calendar, Otter can automatically join virtual meetings with OtterPilot™ to record and transcribe the meeting. It also shares live transcripts with meeting participants so that everyone can collaborate by adding highlights and comments.

The Otter.ai Chrome extension intelligently detects when you open a virtual meeting link in your browser, or add one to a calendar event, and provides a quick and easy way to OtterPilot that meeting – ensuring you never miss a key moment from the meeting.

The Otter.ai Chrome extension is compatible with Zoom, Google Meet, and Google Calendar.

HOW TO PIN THE EXTENSION AND LOG IN:
- After downloading, tap the extension icon, then tap the pin icon to add it to your browser bar.
- Tap the pinned Otter logo in your browser bar to log in to or sign up for an Otter account.

HOW TO USE WITH ZOOM:
- Open a Zoom URL in your Chrome browser.
- An Otter extension pop-up will open and ask if you want to OtterPilot the meeting to get an
automatic meeting summary (however, if OtterPilot is already scheduled to attend the
meeting, you will not receive this pop-up).
- If you OtterPilot your meeting, your live notes will open in a new tab in your browser.
- Your current meeting notes will be auto-shared to your calendar guests, and you have the
option to enable OtterPilot to join all future meetings from the same pop-up.
- Go to Settings to edit the share settings for all of your future meetings.

HOW TO USE WITH GOOGLE MEET:
- Open a Google Meet URL in your Chrome browser.
- An Otter extension pop-up will open and ask if you want to OtterPilot the meeting to get an
automatic meeting summary.
- From the same pop-up, you also have the option to manually record on your device.
- If you OtterPilot your meeting, a small in-window pop-up (only visible to you) with your live
meeting notes will appear in your Google Meet interface.

HOW TO USE WITH GOOGLE CALENDAR:
- After signing in to the Otter extension, when you open Google Calendar, an option to “Add
Otter Meeting Notes” will appear anytime you create or edit a calendar event.
- Upon tapping the button to “Add Otter Meeting Notes”, one of two things will happen:
- If your calendar is connected in Otter and there is a Zoom or Google Meet link in your
calendar event, OtterPilot will automatically be sent to that meeting.
- If there is not a Zoom or Google meet link in your calendar event, a meeting note will be
added with instructions to manually record on your device.

Lucy Beck (ID: 000000e06aec14f8) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 07/25/2023 I use Otter a lot - but the Chrome extension is useless as it only works if you use Zoom or Google Meet. I was looking for a "button" to press and start transcribing a meeting already in progess - irrespective of the platform that the meeting was being held on or if it was an in person meeting. Otter is ill thought out in that it is so heavily focussed around google, Zoom and Microsoft calendar platforms - god help you if you use anything else like native Apple tools, or Zoho for example. You are destined to manually log into Otter for in person meets, downloading meeting recordings and uploading to Otter in all other scenarios. However once you actually get the transcript its great and I find Otter Chat and the interfce generally so much better than Fireflies.ai

Mike Coombe (ID: 000000d1f2b59b50) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 06/06/2023 I know it's not the customer service agents fault but whoever is managing them needs the boot. The worst service I've experienced in a long time, especially from a SaaS company. Sooo many competitors with superior features and amazing support .... and cheaper. I asked for a refund after less than 24 hours because it wasn't working properly and they gave me a simple 'no we cant do that' for a SaaS company to start saying that to people is social suicide. Anyway they can have my money I'll be using another software, they'll need that $99 when they collapse.

Matthew Lee (ID: 000000cba513f6d9) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 05/03/2023 Used to work. No longer works. And Otter Support is NEGATIVE 5 stars.... I'm a PAYING customer, and they don't even respond.

Lei Jin (ID: 000000ae63ff72a6) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 04/18/2023 Used to like it a lot but the new "invite Otter to call" feature is a total disaster. The PM who came up with this definitely jumped the gun. Can we at least have the ability to disable it? Sam, I hope you are seeing this.
