Import audio or video
Import an audio or video file from a URL for transcription, summary and action items.
MCP tool otter_write → import_audio
write Confirm
Fetches the file from the URL and imports it into your Otter account as a new conversation. The file must be up to 5 GB, in a supported audio or video format, and reachable without a login. The import counts toward your plan's transcription limits and the transcript is ready when get_conversation shows the processing as finished. By default you confirm each call; you can switch that off for this tool.

| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| file_url string required | string | HTTPS URL of the audio or video file, reachable without a login. |
| name string | string | Name for the conversation. Default: the file name. |
