Summary

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.

Good app but would be better if Webex Meetings were supported.

Please update this extension @otter.ai!! It currently stops working intermittently; sometimes, it doesn't start at all, or it won't stop recording when the meeting is over. Also, add functionality for Microsoft Teams and other platforms.
