How To Integrate Microsoft Outlook With Otter

Automate Meeting Transcription with the Otter + Microsoft Outlook Integration

Otter integrates directly with Microsoft Outlook, making it easy to capture, summarize, and share your meetings without lifting a finger. By connecting your Outlook calendar to Otter, you’ll unlock smart features like automatic transcription, post-meeting summaries, and streamlined sharing with your fellow attendees, all while keeping everything organized in one place.

What the Microsoft Outlook Integration Enables

When you connect your Outlook calendar to Otter, you can:

• Automatically join and transcribe scheduled Outlook calendar events using Otter
• Share Otter transcripts and summaries instantly with meeting participants - this happens automatically based on your calendar’s data
• Receive a meeting summary email after every meeting, including action items and outlines that are personalized to you and your team
• Sync your Otter dashboard with your calendar so you’re always prepared for what’s coming next

This integration is great for any professional across any role, who relies on Microsoft 365. Whether you're leading client calls, running team check-ins, or just documenting everyday meetings, Otter will make sure that nothing gets missed, and also, that nothing gets manually typed!

Note: Otter only syncs your primary calendar from each connected Microsoft account. Secondary or subscribed calendars are not supported.

FAQs

2. Can I connect more than one Microsoft Outlook calendar?
   Yes! You can connect multiple accounts, but Otter will only sync the primary calendar from each.
3. Does the integration work on mobile?
   Yes! The Microsoft Outlook integration works on both Android and iOS apps.
4. Do I need Zapier for this?
   No, this integration works natively in Otter. However, Zapier can enhance your workflow with custom automation if needed.
