# Record an Impromptu Call

Learn how to quickly add Outdoo AI to record calls whether they're scheduled, unscheduled, or already in progress using the Record a Call shortcut.

Here's how to quickly add Outdoo AI to a call, whether it's last-minute or already in progress.

#### If the meeting is on your calendar

-   If the meeting was added to your calendar at least 15 to 30 minutes before it starts, Outdoo AI syncs it automatically.

#### If the meeting is not on your calendar

-   Go to the **Home** page.

-   In the **Shortcuts** section, click **Record a call**.

-   Choose the meeting platform and paste the **meeting link** (for Zoom, you can use the meeting ID and passcode instead).

-   Click **Ask Notetaker to Join**.
