Disabling & Enabling Otter.ai Meeting Assistant  

Otter.ai is an application which automatically writes with real-time transcription, recorded audio, automated slide capture and automated meeting summaries.  

It can join online meetings automatically such as Zooms, MS Teams and Google Meet and generate summaries and share the meeting notes to the participants. 

If you sign up to Otter.ai, it will automatically participate in every online meeting without you knowing. Once the meeting is complete, it will email you the summary of the meeting. This sometimes causes confusion to participants.

5. Change Default permission level field to Viewer. 
6. Change Automatically share notes field to Don’t share. 
7. Switch off OtterPilot’s automatic actions.
