Step 2: Navigating to Account Settings
Now that you're successfully logged in, it's time to find the treasure chest of settings!
Sub-heading: Finding Your Profile Icon
Look for your profile icon or avatar in the upper left-hand corner of the Otter.ai interface. This is typically a small circle with your initial or a profile picture you've set. Sometimes, your current name might also be displayed next to it.
Click or tap on this profile icon. A dropdown menu will appear, revealing a series of options.
Sub-heading: Selecting 'Account Settings'
From the dropdown menu, locate and select "Account Settings". This is your gateway to customizing various aspects of your Otter.ai experience, including your name.
Tip: Share this article if you find it helpful.
Step 3: Locating Your Profile Information
Within the Account Settings, you'll find different categories. We're looking for the section that deals with your personal profile.
Sub-heading: Identifying the 'General' or 'Profile' Section
Once you're in Account Settings, look for a tab or section typically labeled "General" or "Profile". This is where your basic account information, including your name, is stored.
Step 4: Initiating the Name Change
You're almost there! Now it's time to actually make the edit.
Sub-heading: Clicking the 'Edit' Button
Within the "General" or "Profile" section, you'll usually see your current full name displayed. Next to it, or in the upper corner of this section, there will be an "Edit" button or an edit icon (often represented by a small pencil). Click on it!
Step 5: Updating Your Name Field
This is the moment of truth!
QuickTip: Focus on what feels most relevant.
Sub-heading: Entering Your New Name
A text field containing your current name will become editable. Carefully click into the "Full name" field and delete your old name. Then, type in the new name you wish to use for your Otter.ai account.
Pro Tip: If you're only looking to change the first name portion that appears in your "Otter Notetaker (Otter.ai)" display name during meetings, you only need to modify the first name field.
Step 6: Saving Your Changes
Don't forget this crucial final step, or all your efforts will be in vain!
Sub-heading: Confirming Your New Name
 |
After you've entered your desired new name, look for a checkmark icon or a "Save" button (sometimes it might say "Done"). Click or tap this to confirm your changes.
You might receive a visual confirmation that your changes have been saved.
Step 7: Verifying the Change
To ensure your name change was successful, it's a good idea to quickly check.
Sub-heading: Checking Your Profile or Notetaker Display
Option A: Profile Recheck: Go back to your Otter.ai dashboard and click on your profile icon again. Your newly updated name should now be displayed there.
Option B: Meeting Test (for Notetaker name): If the primary reason for changing your name was to update how Otter Notetaker appears in meetings, consider joining a quick test meeting (if possible) to see the updated display name (e.g., "[Your New Name]'s Notetaker (Otter.ai)").
And there you have it! Your Otter.ai name has been successfully changed. Enjoy your freshly updated profile!
