Switching from tl;dv to Avoma: how to keep your meeting history

Short answer: Avoma lets you upload pre-recorded meetings (Avoma help). To keep your tl;dv history, export the transcripts. Optionally, upload the recordings you need so Avoma re-transcribes them.

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).

Step 1: export every tl;dv transcript before you cancel

Do this while your tl;dv plan still has API access. The tl;dv API is available when the meeting organizer is on Pro, Business or Enterprise, per tl;dv's API docs. Choose one way to do it:

You get:

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

Step 2 (optional): download the recordings you need

tl;dv lets you download a recording as MP4 from the meeting page. Per tl;dv's help center, both the recording owner and the downloader need a Pro or Enterprise plan, and the downloader needs editor or admin rights. The same article says bulk downloads aren't supported. tl;dv's API article also documents GET /v1alpha1/meetings/{meetingId}/download, which returns a signed download URL that expires after 6 hours. MinuteHaul exports transcripts, not video.

Uploading tl;dv recordings to Avoma

Avoma creates a new transcript from the audio, so your tl;dv transcript text and AI notes don't transfer. Keep the exported Markdown as the original record. Planning to leave Avoma later? See how to bulk export Avoma transcripts.

Step 3: keep the archive useful

Plain Markdown stays readable in any tool. Some places to put it: Notion, Obsidian, Google Docs, or search across it with ChatGPT, Claude or NotebookLM. To tidy a single transcript, use the free transcript cleaner.

Switching checklist

  1. Export all tl;dv transcripts and the index CSV (step 1).
  2. Download any recordings you must keep (step 2).
  3. Spot-check a few exported files against tl;dv.
  4. Set up Avoma for new meetings.
  5. Only then downgrade or cancel tl;dv.
