Otter.ai: Record and transcribe meetings Extension
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 USE WITH ZOOM:

automatic meeting summary (however, if OtterPilot is already scheduled to attend the
meeting, you will not receive this pop-up).

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.
