What’s new in version 2.17?

                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 as Otter Assistant 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 send Otter Assistant to 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 send Otter Assistant to the 
     meeting to get an automatic meeting summary (however, if your Otter Assistant is already 
     scheduled to attend the meeting, you will not receive this pop-up).
  -  If you send Otter Assistant to 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 send Otter Assistant to 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.

     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 add Otter Assistant to 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, your Otter Assistant 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.

Overall a great service, and getting better. The plugin is good, but I have been having issues lately where I have to close and restart it at the beginning of a Google Meet session. Once I do that, it works fine. Hopefully they'll fix this bug soon

I love the web app, but this extension didn't work for me. Here are my reasons. It didn't record one of my meetings. When I activated it, a weird pop that I couldn't close blocked half screen for the entire meeting. When you exit the meeting (on google) there is no confirmation that the recording ended and is being processed, but I also don't see any confirmation that it's still recording. All in all, I feel like it's way easier just to have otter.ai open in a separate tab.

This software was mistakenly installed / granted permissions by someone at my company, and spread to people very much like a virus. It will send out emails on your behalf, without your permission, pretending to be you asking your co-workers to install Otter. This is worse than any virus. This company peddles spyware, plain and simple.
