Meeting recorder for Zoom, Google Meet and Teams with bot and bot-free recording

Last verified DocumentedBased on official sources; we have not tested this tool ourselves.

At a glance

tl;dv records, transcribes and summarizes meetings on Zoom, Google Meet and Microsoft Teams. You can use it with a bot or, through the desktop app, record system audio without a bot. It has a free plan and paid team plans.

Best for

Teams on Zoom, Google Meet or Microsoft Teams that want a choice between a joining bot and bot-free desktop recording, with EU data centers as stated by the vendor (AI processing location can be set to Europe or the US).

Not for

Not a fit if you need a native mobile app: the homepage FAQ says tl;dv "doesn't have a native mobile app yet" (the pricing page lists "Mobile app (iOS, Android)" under Free; the two pages are not reconciled here). Also not a fit if you need video from bot-free recording: it captures audio only.
