Manually add OtterPilot to a meeting

You can manually add OtterPilot to your Zoom, Google Meet, or Microsoft Teams meetings using a valid meeting URL. You can manually add OtterPilot for ad-hoc meetings, meetings where OtterPilot 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. OtterPilot will not be able to join your meeting without the embedded password. 
2. Navigate to the Otter homepage and click into the Paste meeting URL to record text field.
   
   
3. Copy the meeting URL from Zoom, Google Meet, or Microsoft Teams and paste into the field, and hit Enter/Return or click the microphone icon.
   
4. OtterPilot will join momentarily.

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

• The meeting host may need to admit OtterPilot from the waiting room.
• The meeting host may need to allow OtterPilot to record the meeting.

On your homepage calendar, the event will show an OtterPilot button once the meeting has started. Click OtterPilot to add OtterPilot to your meeting. It will take a moment for OtterPilot to join your meeting.
