How to migrate off tl;dv without losing your meeting history

Context: tl;dv's help center says "Right now, we don't support bulk transcript downloads or exports", and the "Allow downloading meetings in bulk" request on its public feature board is marked "in progress" (checked Oct 2026).

Migration checklist

Inventory your history. How many meetings do you have, and which ones matter (sales calls, interviews, customer calls)?
Export transcripts while you still have access. Do this before downgrading or cancelling. API access depends on your plan (tl;dv's API docs list Pro, Business and Enterprise), so export first. See Export before you cancel.
Keep an index. A CSV of every meeting (date, title, participants) makes the archive searchable later.
Choose where the archive lives. Notion (guide), Google Drive/Docs (guide), or plain files in cloud storage.
Turn off integrations you no longer need, then switch tools.
Check what happens to your data after you leave. Read tl;dv's current terms and help center for retention after downgrade or deletion; don't assume.

Can my new tool import tl;dv transcripts?

It depends on the tool. Most can't ingest another vendor's history directly, so a portable archive (Markdown plus CSV, or JSONL) is the safest format. JSONL also loads into AI tools such as ChatGPT, Claude or NotebookLM for searching your past meetings.

MinuteHaul exports your full history in one ZIP:

transcripts/: one Markdown file per meeting (title, date, organizer, participants, tl;dv link, speaker-labeled and timestamped transcript)
index.csv: one row per meeting (id, title, date, duration, organizer, participants, file, status)
all-transcripts.txt (optional): every transcript in one text file for ChatGPT, Claude or NotebookLM, split into parts of about 400k words if needed
all.jsonl (optional): raw meeting metadata plus transcript segments, one meeting per line

Each Markdown file can also include tl;dv's AI notes for that meeting when the API returns them.

Pre-order MinuteHaul: $29 one-time or try it free on your 10 most recent meetings

Pre-order: the exporter ships within 7 days of your purchase. If it is not delivered to you in that time, you get an automatic full refund. Requires a paid tl;dv plan with API access: per tl;dv's API docs, the meeting organizer must be on Pro, Business or Enterprise.

FAQ

Should I export before or after downgrading tl;dv? Before. Exporting through the official API requires a plan with API access (Pro, Business or Enterprise per tl;dv's API docs), so export while you still have it.

Does the export include video recordings? Not in the first version of MinuteHaul. It exports transcripts and meeting metadata.

What format is best for moving to another tool? Markdown for reading, CSV for an index, and JSONL for loading into AI or custom tools. MinuteHaul produces all three.

Is my meeting data stored by MinuteHaul? No. The export runs in your browser, and your API key is kept only in memory.
