Short answer: Otter's import feature is documented for audio and video files (Otter help). To keep your tl;dv history, export the transcripts. Optionally, import the recordings so Otter 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).
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:
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 neededall.jsonl (optional): raw meeting metadata plus transcript segments, one meeting per lineEach Markdown file can also include tl;dv's AI notes for that meeting when the API returns them.
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.
Otter 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.
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.
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.
Can I move my tl;dv meetings to Otter? Otter documents importing audio and video files. Download your tl;dv recordings and import them, keeping Otter's plan limits in mind, and export your tl;dv transcripts separately.
How many files can I import into Otter for free? Otter's help center says the Basic free plan allows up to three imported files per account, with up to 30 minutes of transcript per conversation (checked Oct 2026).
Is MinuteHaul affiliated with Otter or tl;dv? No. MinuteHaul is independent.
