| 2024-12-13 |  | | en | 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. |
| 2024-12-11 |  | | en | Documentation is garbage. Product does not work. |
| 2024-12-05 |  | | en | still not working on Chrome. |
| 2024-11-29 |  | | en | Does not work at all. Nothing happens with the extension. Back to manually recording on the otter.ai website. |
| 2024-10-24 |  | | en | Works about 30% of the time. When it does work, it's usually helpful. Worth the cost? Not with current lack of reliability. Sad I paid for a full year up front. ROI is meh. |
| 2024-10-22 |  | | en | Plugin stopped working a while ago, please fix asap. Otter used to be so good that we ended up relying on it heavily for automatic meeting transcripts, making this bug even more catastrophic. |

| 2024-10-09 |  | | en | Yup, Otter.ai has stopped working with Chrome as an extension. As a workaround I'm using the TechSmith Capture screen recorder, then uploading to Otter.ai manually until the issue is fixed. |
| 2024-10-08 |  | | en | is not working anymore with google chrome Version 129.0.6668.90 |
| 2024-10-08 |  | | en | Plugin suddenly stopped working and doesn't pop up when starting Google Meet. I'm not sure if this is a latest update or something but it is virtually unusable now. |
