If you could catch up on your meetings in minutes, would you attend live?
This is the question at the heart of tl;dv. But firstly, if you’re new to tl;dv let me introduce us, we link your meeting minutes to the exact moment in your video recording & transcript. We enable you to now instantly share the important takeaways, fully contextualized. We’ve amped this up with some of our favorite features, such as timestamped highlights, transcription with a speed-reading feature, and a Slack integration for automatic meeting updates.
That’s the short of it! Now let’s deep dive into the changes we’ve made throughout the year, to the tl;dv Chrome Extension version 1!

This refers to one of tl;dv’s latest features which we launched in August 2021. As some of our users prefer using other async collaboration apps such as Notion for meeting notetaking, we decided to deepen our integration. Our mission is to save your time spent in and around meetings with contextualized meeting notes, that are linked to the exact moment in the recording and transcript. Test it now! Any questions about this? Reach out to [email protected]
All of the points on the left-hand side of this tl;dv are called “timestamped highlights”. This is our awesome feature of tl;dv that instantly transports you to any moment in any tl;dv. When you share any tl;dv, you can also instantly share these timestamped highlights too! This means when you share your meeting with colleagues or paste it into your favorite CRM or documentation tool, anybody can instantly jump right to the most crucial part of any meeting. 
LMI refers to our Live Meeting Interface. Our LMI can be viewed for those who have installed our Google Chrome Extension. 
Are you the “tl;dv meeting recorder?”. Yes, we record meetings. But we do much more than duplicate your meetings in video format. We enable you to catch up on meetings in minutes. We empower your team to say “no” to meetings and “yes” to more Deep Work.
But most importantly, we help you and your team get the most out of meetings!
Is tl;dv a “Google Meet recorder extension?”
tl;dv enables you to catch up on your meetings in minutes. We layer between the places where you’re already meeting and collaborating, and yes, one of those places is Google Meet!
If you’d like to download our “Google Meet recorder extension” or as we call it, our tl;dv Chrome Extension, you can do so here!
tl;dv version 1.0.12 update
tl;dv Google Docs
This is an exciting one. Today we’ve released the second integration of our timestamped highlights (first was tl;dv <> Notion). Now, you can continue to take your important meeting notes on Google Docs – but now you can link these notes to the exact moment in your tl;dv meeting recording!It’s really simple and you can give it a whirl by setting up a test Google Meet.
Any questions? You know who to call!
So, Notion? Check. Google Docs? Check! Which app or tool should we integrate with next?
Other notes
- Update version 1.0.9 was live on Dec 02, 2021.
tl;dv version 1.0.11 update
This is a super short and fast update that we pushed to the Chrome Store to fix a minor bug with the syncing of tl;dv <> Notion timestamps across sessions/pages – this change was released in V 1.0.10, and was fixed in this update. If there’s any questions, feel free to reach out at [email protected].
Other notes
- Update version 1.0.9 was live on Nov 24, 2021.
tl;dv version 1.0.10 update
This is a big update! So we’ve given one their own section below. Thanks to all of our wonderful users that have provided invaluable feedback that has shaped these updates in particular. In addition to all of these updates, we’ve also squashed bugs and perfected our UI.
tl;dv Notion V4
The Notion widget’s settings are now synced and will be consistent across:
- Tabs: Toggling a setting ON/OFF in one tab will replicate this across all other notion tabs within the same browser instance
- Refreshes: Refreshing a page will not reset the notion widget's settings
- Sessions: When a user joins a new meeting, the settings will be the same as they were when the last meeting ended
This means that whether you’re toggling, reloading, or jumping between pages, all of your timestamped highlights will be viewable on each page/session – so you can easily keep track of what was highlighted already.
Easier timestamped highlights
Now you don’t need to type anything to add a timestamped highlight! We’ve received some feedback that you’d love to timestamp moments in an instant – so we created this.
Simply click the same timestamp icon (the Blue Pushpin) to instantly add a timestamp to your live meeting. No text needed! Want to add text later? No problem! You can always edit any timestamped highlight during or after the meeting!
Easily stop your tl;dvs
Users can now use the “Stop Recording” button when the LMI is closed. Clicking the Stop Recording button while the LMI is closed now re-opens the interface to enable the user to complete the desired action. Provide your feedback to [email protected].
Frozen in time
In order to give people as much or little time to write their highlights during a live meeting – when you begin writing a highlight the timestamp will automatically stop. Essentially what this means is that the highlight’s timestamp will be more accurate (time-wise).
