tl;dv

Ratings by category

Key features

• Unlimited recordings on the free plan is the defining feature that separates tl;dv from every other meeting assistant in this category. There is no cap on how many meetings you record, no limit on recording length, and no expiry on your archive. For budget-conscious teams, startups, and individuals, this means full meeting capture without any trade-offs or upgrade pressure.
• AI meeting notes are generated automatically at the end of each session and summarized into structured sections covering main topics, key decisions, and action items. On the free plan, AI summaries are limited to a basic format. Pro and Business plans unlock more detailed and configurable summary structures. The notes are timestamped and linked to the transcript so you can click through to hear the exact moment.
• Timestamp chapters divide long meeting transcripts into labeled sections based on topic transitions. Instead of reading a flat 90-minute transcript, you see a table of contents with named chapters like "Q3 budget discussion" or "Product roadmap review." Clicking any chapter jumps directly to that segment in both the transcript and the recording.
• Highlight reels let you select the most important moments from a meeting and assemble them into a shareable clip package. This is one of tl;dv's most-used features for teams that want to share relevant sections of a meeting with stakeholders who were not on the call. A highlight reel might be 3-5 minutes of key decisions extracted from a 60-minute session.
• Searchable library indexes every transcript word across your full meeting history, making it possible to find any moment from any past meeting. You can search by keyword, speaker, meeting title, or date and jump directly to the relevant timestamp. This is particularly useful for product teams tracking feature discussions or sales teams revisiting customer objections from past calls.
• CRM integration with Salesforce and HubSpot is available on Pro and Business plans, automatically syncing meeting summaries, highlights, and action items to deal or contact records. The sync is configurable so you can map tl;dv fields to custom CRM properties. Sales teams use this to eliminate manual logging and keep CRM data current without changing their workflow.
• Support for 70-plus languages makes tl;dv the strongest multilingual option in this category. Transcription and notes are available in most major European, Asian, and Latin American languages, and the accuracy in supported non-English languages is meaningfully better than competitors that treat multilingual support as an afterthought. This is a core differentiator for European and international teams.
• Clip sharing generates a shareable link to any specific segment of a meeting recording with a single click. No download required, no need to share the full recording - just highlight a segment and copy the link. Recipients see just that clip in a browser player without needing a tl;dv account. This is extremely useful for sharing customer feedback, sales call moments, or product research with people outside the meeting.
• GDPR compliance and EU data storage make tl;dv the default choice for European companies with strict data residency requirements. As a Berlin-based company, tl;dv was built with European privacy law as a first-class requirement rather than a compliance afterthought. Organizations subject to GDPR can deploy tl;dv with confidence that meeting data stays within EU jurisdiction.
• Google Meet and Zoom integrations are both mature and well-maintained. The tl;dv bot joins reliably, handles participant detection correctly, and produces consistent transcription quality on both platforms. Multilingual meeting support is especially strong on these two platforms.
• Microsoft Teams integration is available but is less mature than the Zoom and Google Meet versions. Recording quality is comparable, but some Teams-specific features like breakout room detection and certain participant list integrations are less reliable. Teams-heavy organizations should test the integration carefully before committing.
• Calendar sync auto-joins scheduled meetings without manual action. Once tl;dv is connected to your Google or Microsoft calendar, it detects meetings with video links and joins them automatically. You can set rules to exclude certain meeting types, only record internal calls, or require a manual approval before the bot joins.
• Collaborative timestamp notes let meeting participants and team members add comments, reactions, and notes to specific transcript moments. These annotations are visible to the whole team in the shared library, turning transcripts into collaborative documents. Research teams and UX teams use this heavily for annotating customer interviews.
• The Pro plan at approximately $19 per month per user and the Business plan at approximately $64 per month per user offer significant step-ups in AI summary quality, CRM integration, and team management features. The free plan is genuinely unlimited for recordings, making the upgrade decision driven by AI features and integrations rather than storage caps.
• Meeting templates on higher plans let teams pre-define the structure they want AI notes to follow for different meeting types. A sales call template might structure notes around discovery, pain points, and next steps, while a product meeting template organizes around decisions, open questions, and action items. This customization makes AI summaries much more immediately useful without editing.
