Helpful Tips and Tricks
Alternative Route – From Otter AI
While you can't schedule a meeting directly in Otter, the platform allows you to launch Google Calendar through a button located at the bottom right of the desktop interface. This indirect route is handy for quick access to your Google calendar.
How to Add OtterPilot Manually (Just in Case)
Sometimes, you might need to add OtterPilot manually. This is usually the case if it isn’t automatically added, or if you initially denied it entry to the meeting. Simply copy your Google Meet URL from the Calendar and paste it into Otter by going to “My Agenda”. Look at the top right for the form field that says "Paste Meeting URL to record," and simply paste your Google Meet URL (link) into the field and hit enter, allowing Otter to join as a participant and transcribe the meeting.
Conclusion
With OtterAI and OtterPilot, you’re not just scheduling a meeting; you're gearing up for a more organized, efficient, and productive discussion. Say goodbye to manual note-taking and hello to smarter meetings!
