[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:

OtterPilot Notetaker – Send the notetaker to your meeting via the web or mobile app. Learn more about OtterPilot: https://help.otter.ai/hc/en-us/articles/4425393298327-OtterPilot-Overview
Otter Web or Mobile App – Start recording via the app (note: recording won’t work with headphones). Learn more about recording: https://help.otter.ai/hc/en-us/articles/360048269733-Record-a-conversation

User reviews

Doesn't work with Chrome. Nothing happens when meeting link is clicked or afterwards. No option to initiate transcription. As a result, I've used ActionPoint.ai for real-time transcription/translation.
