This isn't true at all. This feature was and is disabled on my account.

Normally I would agree with you - the same thing happened to my boss earlier in the day, the Otter bot joined a call before she did and she was baffled how it was there. I thought she must have accidentally enabled a new feature.

So when I looked at my otter.ai account after that I was exceptionally careful to not just click through the big blue "Enable Otter Assistant" button and find the light grey "Skip" button in the upper right. To no avail, as the Otter bot started to invade my meetings after that.

I only stopped it by disabling the Google Calendar integration they had had prior, which was only to suggest which meeting to link recordings to, and not the new "Otter Assistant" feature that automatically joins meetings.
