tl;dv (Too Long; Didn't View) is a free AI meeting recorder and coaching platform that makes it easy to capture, clip, and share the most important moments from customer and internal calls. Its generous free plan and multilingual transcription (30+ languages) make it a popular choice for international sales teams and product teams doing user research.
Product Overview
tl;dv connects to Zoom, Google Meet, and Teams, auto-joins meetings from your calendar, and delivers a full transcript and AI summary after each call. Reps can mark timestamps during the call or afterwards to create clips for sharing. The platform's coaching features allow managers to build call libraries, comment on specific moments, and track whether best-practice behaviours appear in reps' calls — without a Gong-level price tag.
Key Features
