What tl;dv does
Who it’s for: Teams that want to keep the video of their meetings and share clips from it: sales reps, recruiters, product teams, managers.
Record without a bot
The desktop app captures your computer’s audio in the background. No extra participant appears in the meeting. So it is up to you to tell the others.
Notes linked to the video
tl;dv summarizes the meeting by topic. Each point links to the moment it was discussed: one click, and the video resumes at that spot. You can change templates if the summary misses the essentials.
Also
- Video clips to share
- Ask questions of one or several meetings
- Fill in the CRM
- Ask for consent before recording
- Record an in-person meeting
