Manually add Otter Notetaker to a meeting

You can manually add Otter Notetaker to your Zoom, Google Meet, or Microsoft Teams meetings using a valid meeting URL. You can manually add Notetaker for ad-hoc meetings, meetings where Notetaker did not join successfully, or to meetings where the event is not on your Otter calendar.

1. Copy the meeting URL.
   
   Note: Make sure your meeting URL includes the password. Notetaker will not be able to join your meeting without the embedded password.

3. Copy the meeting URL from Zoom, Google Meet, or Microsoft Teams and paste it into the field. Hit Enter/Return or click the Record button.

It may take up to a few minutes for Notetaker to join, but once it has, you will see Notetaker in your participant list.
