And the sad reality is that while some users from this thread may never touch it, it's likely that nobody at the company will ever suffer any consequences, and the whole incident may be EV+ because more users join after hearing about it than leaving.
When I opened Otter there was a large splash screen that said "Enable Otter Assistant" in a big blue button - I looked around and found "Skip" in gray in the upper right. My settings show Otter Assistant is off, and I never touched them.
Talk about dumpster fire
> Hi there! With our new repackaging, Basic users are getting more features, including Otter Assistant, which has the ability to auto-join meetings and auto-share notes connected to users’ Google or Outlook Calendars. Users have full control of whether their Otter Assistant joins meetings and shares notes with calendar event guests. For maximum automation, users can turn on this toggle to invite Otter Assistant to join all meetings by default. At anytime, you can change this default setting. Users can also adjust individual auto-join and auto-share settings on the calendar on the Otter home page as needed, overriding any defaults settings. You can find more information on how to use Otter Assistant here - https://help.otter.ai/hc/en-us/articles/4425393298327
