Frequently Asked Questions

Is tl;dv secure and compliant for sensitive business meetings?+
Yes. tl;dv is SOC 2 Type II certified, GDPR compliant, and offers data encryption in transit and at rest. For highly regulated industries, Enterprise plans provide additional controls, but I always recommend reviewing their security whitepaper.
Can I use tl;dv if my company doesn't allow external recording?+
You must have explicit permission. tl;dv requires host/participant consent to record. I advise checking your company's IT policy first and using the 'Request to Record' feature to get participant approval within the tool.
How does the AI differentiate between different speakers?+
It uses voice fingerprinting. After a few sentences, it identifies unique voice patterns and assigns labels (e.g., 'Speaker 1'). You can then manually rename them in the transcript, and it will remember for future meetings.
What happens if I exceed my monthly recording limit on the Free plan?+
Recording stops. Your existing recordings remain accessible, but you cannot record new meetings until the next billing cycle resets or you upgrade. I found the limit hits faster than expected.
Can I edit the AI-generated summary and transcript?+
Absolutely, and you should. You can click into any part of the summary or transcript to edit text, correct speaker names, or modify action items. These edits are reflected in the shared view.
