Add Otter meeting notes to Google calendar events

Add Otter meeting notes directly to your Google Calendar events using the Otter Chrome Extension. Easily access your Otter conversation directly from the calendar event and manage sharing permissions. Calendar guests can access the meeting notes to stay in sync through the pre-populated URL.
