What is tl;dv?

tl;dv is an AI note-taker for video meetings. The tool integrates with Zoom, Microsoft Teams, and Google Meet to record your calls, transcribe them, and send you a summary of the key takeaways afterward. It’s used by over two million people.

‍

It focuses more on video than most of its competitors: you can cut out and share specific snippets from the conversation, like a customer’s direct feedback for your product team. Sales teams use it to automatically sync calls to their CRM and keep track of deal context.

‍

Compared to Otter, which focuses purely on transcription, tl;dv leverages its video and clipping features. Fireflies, also listed here, is quite similar. The catch: like all bot-based note-takers, a visible participant joins the call, which can be noticeable during sensitive client meetings.

‍

The right choice for sales and customer teams who want to document video meetings and share highlights. If you just need a simple transcript without a bot joining the call, check out Granola.
