Move your team from tl;dv to Bluedot.
Each person gets a short interview, then a personalized step-by-step guide showing exactly where their saved work, prompts, and projects land in Bluedot — and the few things that need a manual step, walked through. You send one invite; nobody becomes the help desk, and nothing in tl;dv is changed or cancelled. Want to see where you’re paying for both first? Run the free audit.
Both tools generate structured AI summaries and speaker-labeled transcripts automatically after each meeting. To move from Bluedot to tl;dv: export your Bluedot meeting notes (copy text or use Bluedot's Notion/Google Drive integration to archive past summaries), then connect tl;dv to the same Google or Outlook calendar so it takes over auto-summarization going forward. In tl;dv, configure a custom note format — MEDDIC, BANT, or a freeform template — under Settings > AI Notes to replicate Bluedot's use-case templates (Q&A, sales notes, customer check-ins). To move from tl;dv to Bluedot: export tl;dv transcripts via the download option in each meeting, then install the Bluedot Chrome extension; Bluedot will start generating structured notes on new meetings immediately. Map Bluedot's custom templates (Pro plan) to whichever use-case best matches your tl;dv format.
- Warning: Bluedot custom templates are gated to the Pro plan; Basic plan users only get the default summary format, which may not match the structured MEDDIC/BANT templates available in tl;dv from Pro upward.
- Warning: tl;dv Free plan caps full AI notes to the first 10 meetings lifetime, then truncates to the first 10 minutes per meeting — teams migrating to the free tier will lose full-meeting summaries after 10 sessions.
- Warning: Neither tool exports notes in a format the other can directly import; historical summaries must be archived manually or via a shared integration (Notion, Google Drive) before switching.
Both tools let users clip specific moments from a recorded meeting and share them as short video segments instead of sending the full recording. In Bluedot, clips are created from the web app after the meeting by selecting a portion of the transcript or timeline; a shareable link is generated. In tl;dv, highlights and clips are created by selecting a transcript segment or marking a timestamp during or after the meeting, then exporting that segment as a shareable video clip. To migrate from Bluedot to tl;dv: recreate your shared clip links in tl;dv by locating the same transcript moment and generating a new clip — old Bluedot clip links remain valid until you cancel your Bluedot account. To migrate from tl;dv to Bluedot: download tl;dv clips you want to preserve before canceling (paid plans), then reshare from Bluedot's clip tool once your meetings are being recorded there.
- Warning: tl;dv Free plan caps shareable clips at 4 (non-downloadable); paid plans lift this cap. Bluedot does not publish a per-plan clip count limit, but clipping is available across plans.
- Warning: Existing clip links from either platform become inaccessible when the corresponding account is canceled — download or re-upload critical clips before switching.
- Warning: tl;dv timestamps can be pushed directly to Slack, HubSpot, Salesforce, or Google Docs via integrations; Bluedot shares clips via a web link only and does not push timestamped highlights into third-party tools natively.
Both tools push meeting notes and action items into CRMs and productivity apps after each call. Bluedot integrates natively with HubSpot and Salesforce (auto-syncing notes, transcripts, and action items), Notion, Slack, Google Drive, and Zoom Cloud, and extends automation via Zapier, Make, and public webhooks. tl;dv integrates natively with HubSpot and Zoho CRM, Slack, Notion, Google Docs, OneDrive, Box, and Greenhouse, and extends via Zapier to 5000+ apps. To migrate from Bluedot to tl;dv: disconnect Bluedot's CRM connector (in HubSpot/Salesforce settings, revoke Bluedot's OAuth app), then in tl;dv's integrations panel connect the same CRM — for Salesforce, use tl;dv's Zapier integration since tl;dv has no native Salesforce connector. Re-map any custom field configurations manually. To migrate from tl;dv to Bluedot: revoke tl;dv's OAuth access in HubSpot/Zoho, authorize Bluedot's CRM integration (Business plan required), and reconfigure field mapping in Bluedot's integration settings.
- Warning: Bluedot's CRM and ATS integrations (HubSpot, Salesforce) are gated to the Business plan. Basic and Pro users are limited to webhooks and non-CRM integrations. tl;dv Pro includes all 5000+ Zapier integrations; deep CRM field mapping is gated to the Business plan.
- Warning: tl;dv has no native Salesforce connector — Salesforce sync requires Zapier integration credits. Bluedot has a native Salesforce connector, so teams moving to tl;dv lose direct Salesforce field mapping.
- Warning: Bluedot exposes an MCP integration for Claude and AI assistants; tl;dv does not. Teams using Bluedot's MCP connector will need an alternative approach after migrating.
Both tools auto-record Zoom, Google Meet, and Microsoft Teams meetings. Bluedot uses a Chrome extension (and desktop/mobile apps) that captures audio directly without sending a visible bot into the call. tl;dv defaults to sending a bot but also offers a bot-free desktop app that records via system audio. To migrate from Bluedot to tl;dv: uninstall or disable the Bluedot Chrome extension, install the tl;dv desktop app (for bot-free recording) or the tl;dv browser extension, and reconnect your Google or Outlook calendar so tl;dv auto-joins future meetings. To migrate from tl;dv to Bluedot: remove tl;dv's calendar access, install the Bluedot Chrome extension, and grant it access to your calendar — Bluedot will begin capturing meetings silently on the next scheduled call. In both directions, existing recordings are NOT transferred; download or archive recordings from the old platform before canceling.
- Warning: Bluedot Free plan caps each recording at 1 hour; recordings longer than 1 hour require Pro. tl;dv's Free plan allows unlimited recording with a 3-hour per-session cap and a 3-month retention window before recordings are deleted.
- Warning: tl;dv's bot-free mode requires the desktop app (Mac or Windows); the browser extension still sends a bot. Bluedot's bot-free capture works from the Chrome extension on any OS that runs Chrome, giving it broader platform reach.
- Warning: Platform coverage differs: Bluedot supports Webex, Slack huddles, phone calls, and in-person meetings via its mobile app. tl;dv is limited to Zoom, Google Meet, and Microsoft Teams — migrating teams that use Webex or in-person capture will lose those recording channels.
Both tools accept uploads of pre-existing recordings for transcription and summarization — useful for processing historical calls or recordings made outside the tool. Bluedot accepts MP4, MP3, M4A, and other audio/video formats, plus imports from Google Drive and Zoom Cloud. tl;dv also accepts uploaded recordings alongside its live-recording workflow, with a 3-hour cap per uploaded file. To migrate from Bluedot to tl;dv: download recordings from Bluedot (or Google Drive/Zoom Cloud), then upload them directly into tl;dv's meeting library via the upload option. tl;dv will transcribe and summarize each file using your configured note template. To migrate from tl;dv to Bluedot: download recordings from tl;dv (paid plans allow video download; Free plan does not), then upload into Bluedot. Note that on Bluedot, imports from Google Drive and Zoom Cloud require Pro; unlimited imports require the Business plan.
- Warning: Bluedot restricts file imports by plan: Free and Basic have no import capability; Pro allows limited Zoom and Google Drive imports; Business provides unlimited imports. tl;dv imposes a 3-hour cap per uploaded recording across all plans.
- Warning: tl;dv Free plan retains recordings for only 3 months — historical recordings uploaded to the Free tier will be deleted after 90 days unless the account is upgraded.
- Warning: tl;dv Free plan does not allow video download, only shareable links. Teams wanting to move recordings out of tl;dv for re-upload to Bluedot need a paid tl;dv plan.
